For Marina - Chagall's Paintings

[Ocarina]

Hi Marina,
Marc Chagall was a free soul, born in Russia, later became a French citizen.
His art shows a strong and unique nature of his own that liberated itself even from the classical harmony and ratio.
I think your music somehow talks about the same topic as Chagall's work: the one long-lasting hope about ourselves.
I hope you like Chagall's paintings. Too bad that this message board does not allow me to post more than 8 pictures at a time. ;^)
See you soon again.

Ocarina - thank you for posting Chagall's paintings.. they are quite outstanding..

I have seen his other paintings in the past, and I believe he was very fond of the Russian folk motif. i need to look up his biography.. smile.gif

The flowers in the "three acrobats" look very
Russian.. I have a traditional Russian woolen scarf (which I use to cover my keyboard these days) with flowers that look very very similar.. very beautiful.
