Chagall was considered as pioneer of modern art and one of its greatest figurative painters who invented a visual language that recorded the thrill and terror of the 20th century. For decades, he has been respected as the world's preeminent Jewish artist.
"When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is". View Artist Collection

About Woman With Red Hair (La Belle Rousse) Marc Chagall Modernism Painting
Painted in 1949, La belle rousse ou Les cheveux rouges poetically conjoins the two elements from Chagall’s deeply personal iconography—the tenderly embracing couple and the abundant floral bouquet—that together came to embody his vision of romantic love, which for him was both motivation and motif. “In it lies the true Art: from it comes my technique, my religion,” Chagall explained. “All other things are a sheer waste of energy, waste of means, waste of life, of time... Art, without Love—whether we are ashamed or not to use that well-known word—such a plastic art would open the wrong door” (quoted in J. Baal-Teshuva, ed., Chagall: A Retrospective, Westport, 1995, p. 179).The red-haired, swan-necked woman in this joyful idyll is Virginia Haggard McNeil, Chagall’s young paramour in the years immediately following the Second World War. The artist and his cherished wife Bella had spent their wartime exile in New York, where a sudden illness claimed Bella’s life in September 1944. Virginia, 28 years Chagall’s junior and the mother of a young daughter, entered his life as his housekeeper only nine months later. The artist was deeply grieving Bella’s loss, and Virginia was unhappy and rebellious in her marriage; each of them felt “starved,” Virginia later recalled, but they found, most unexpectedly, a new love together. Their son David was born on 22 June 1946, and they returned to France as a family in August 1948, re-uniting with Chagall’s 32-year-old daughter Ida.About the Life Size Posters
