BY ESTER BARKAI
SPEAKING OF IMMIGRANTS
The Art of Marc Chagall at the University of
Oregon’s Schnitzer Museum
M
arc Chagall lived for nearly a
hundred years. He left Russia for
Paris and then, due to the rise of
the Nazi party and anti-Jewish
sentiment, left Paris for the United
States.
You might think someone who had
witnessed such turmoil would have made
art that was dark and heavy. But Chagall’s
people, animals and flowers — recurring
subjects in his imagery — are rarely bound
by gravity. They hover above the ground and
fly.
Seven brilliant oil paintings by Chagall
are on temporary view at the Jordan Schnitzer
Museum of Art at the University of Oregon.
Part of the museum’s Masterworks on Loan
program, these paintings stand out as a
unified collection of the artist’s style. They
are colorful and fanciful, and above all they
evoke a fondness for the subjects painted —
a love for the village where the artist was
raised and the love he felt for his wife.
You might recognize On the Couch,
where an angel flying above watches a man
embracing a woman, a field of flowers in
the background. Unrestricted by gravity or
perspective, a table floats above the moon in
The Lovers in the Bouquet. A boy’s head has
two faces instead of one in Green Nude in the
Village.
Vitebsk, the small Jewish village the
artist came from, was destroyed first by
the Russians and then by the Nazis. His
representations of Vitebsk, and the people
and animals that inhabited it, are those of
someone picturing a place that no longer
exists.
Perhaps Chagall chose to see the better
side of humanity, leaving out the dark. Or
maybe that was just the way he remembered
— through a lens of love.
Chagall’s paintings are on exhibit through March 12. Admis-
sion is $5, free on first Fridays.
