Toys recreate art, Marc Chagall circus

 

 

For him, clowns and acrobats always resembled figures in religious paintings... The evolution of the circus works... reflects a gradual clouding of his worldview, and the circus performers now gave way to the prophet or sage in his work—a figure into whom Chagall poured his anxiety as Europe darkened, and he could no longer rely on the lumiére-liberté of France for inspiration.^[9]: 337

Chagall described his love of circus people:

Why am I so touched by their makeup and grimaces? With them I can move toward new horizons... Chaplin seeks to do in film what I am trying to do in my paintings. He is perhaps the only artist today I could get along with without having to say a single word.

Fresca chose Marc Chagall circus for Toys recreated art. so many to choose from, his work , prolific and appealing on all levels! 

The orphans wanted to do one so they did, sort of. 

   That was this morning. They have abandoned the project thinking that it is good enough and oh so accurate!  Chagall is so interesting, his work amazing, the orphans all want to marry him but I told them the sad news that he was deceased. They looked incredulous , Nat stating, " Well, at least he is not DEAD!"  They all agreed.

 And by "Marry" the orphans  mean "Merry", because of course no one would ever want to get marriaged, they know everything!To play with Chagall and throw paint around- filling a wall! that would be fun.
