Marc Chagall's 1938 painting White Crucifixion dramatically calls attention to the persecution and suffering of European Jews in the 1930s and the suffering still to come. By linking the martyred Jesus with the persecuted Jews and the Crucifixion with contemporary events, Chagall’s painting passionately identifies the Nazis with Christ’s tormentors and warns of the moral implications of their actions.

All the best, Gerard

In many of Chagall’s paintings, we see him and his wife Bella floating through the air. Over the Town shows the couple flying over their hometown of Vitebsk, deep in love and elation.

On the painting we see my figure enjoying a painting by Marc Chagall. Painted the year after Chagall came to Paris in 1910, 'I and the Village' is influenced by memories of the artist's place of birth and his relationship to it.

In the village, peasants and animals lived side by side, in a mutual dependence here signified by the line from peasant to cow, connecting their eyes. I and the Village is nostalgic and magical, a rural fairy tale: objects jumble together, scale shifts abruptly, and a woman and two houses, at the painting's top, stand upside-down. This daringly whimsical style were at the time considered groundbreaking and very enjoyable up to this day.
