This Wednesday, June 12, (2013) at 19:30,
the American Library in Paris presents an art lecture and slide presentation
by Art History teacher Chris Boïcos on the works of Marc Chagall currently on exhibit at
the Musee du Luxembourg through July 21.
The exhibit itself focuses on four periods of Chagalls' life and work:
* Russia in wartime,
* Between the wars,
* Exile in the United States and
* Post War Years and return to France.
The photo above is of Chagall's works created between 1968 & 1974
for Reims Cathedral after his return to France.
Many of his works in later years depicted scenes from the Bible and these focus on some of the foundations of the old and new testaments.
