Topic: Marc Chagall. The emigrant artist — between countries, worlds, and people.

"If I create from the heart, almost everything works out. If from the head — almost nothing."
— Marc Chagall.

How did a man who experienced revolutions, wars, emigration, and loss of loved ones manage to preserve inner freedom, love of life, and a creative artistic language?

We will discuss:
• how Vitebsk and Jewish tradition shaped his artistic world;
• why Paris became the point of his creative breakthrough;
• the role women played in his life and art;
• how Chagall created not only paintings but also stained glass, mosaics, and theatrical decorations;
• why the heroes of his works soar above the ground and what this flight means.
