Marc Chagall: "Lo stile non è importante. Esprimersi lo è"

"Color is everything. When color is right, form is right. Color is everything, color is vibration like music; everything is vibration".

"Despite all the troubles of our world, in my heart I have never given up on the love in which I was brought up or on man's hope in love. In life, just as on the artist's palette, there is but one single colour that gives meaning to life and art–the colour of love".
