Theintercultural dialogue through one of the artists who is most deeply involved in the vicissitudes of the 20th century. Chagall is the artist who might possibly best personify the desire of peace and the dialogue between different cultures after the two World Wars, what he transmits throughout the whole of his work.
Strong women. Chagall and the rich and diverse feminine universe. Love and human passions are also present in the numerous books of the Bible. The exhibition showcases the elevation of feminine values depicted in the Bible, which remain one of the lesser-known aspects to the general public. Chagall is a great scholar of the Bible, which he regarded as the greatest poetic source of all time. Chagall dedicated a significant series of artworks to the universal and timeless values of women, inspired by the age-old stories of the sacred texts.
Human passions. Chagall was an artist of great spirituality and strong optimism. Therefore, he was able to depict with great irony the human passions that man carries to the extreme, such as gluttony, pride, anger, or lust, in what are considered “The Seven Deadly Sins.”
An exhibition with great public success in every venue where it has been shown.
