Picasso said this in the 1950s  when he and Chagall were eminent neighbours living in splendour on the Cote dAzur. But behind Chagalls role as a pioneer of modern art lay struggle  heartbreak  bitterness  lost love  exile  and the miracle of survival. Born the son of a Russian Jewish herring merchant  Chagall fled the repressive \"potato-coloured\" czarist empire in 1911 to develop his genius in Paris  living alongside Modigliani and Leger in La Ruche  the artists colony where \"you either died or came out famous\". Through war and revolution in Bolshevik Russia  Weimar Berlin  occupied France and 1940s New York  he gave form to his dreams  longings and memories in paintings which are among the most humane and joyful of the 20th century. Drawing on numerous interviews with the artists family  friends  dealers  collectors  and illustrated with two hundred paintings  drawings and photographs  many previously unseen  this elegantly written biography gives for the first time a full and true account of Chagall the man and the artist - and of a life as intense  theatrical and haunting as his paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923863830581,"sku":"ByrdShop_0141009888","price":344.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780141009889.jpg?v=1794117293","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/chagall-love-and-exile-9780141009889","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
