I Am Marc Chagall

By Landmann, Bimba & Chagall, Marc

Publishers Summary:
During prayers he would daydream; in school he was distracted and at home he worried about what profession he should choose. But when the young Marc Chagall realized he had artistic talent, he translated his unusual way of looking at the world into colour and shape. Chagall grew up, became a painter and travelled the world, but he never forgot about his hometown of Vitebsk, Belarus, the place that shaped his character and inspired his art. This book, loosely based on Chagall's autobiography, gives readers a glimpse into the early life of one of the twentieth century's most significant painters. The three-dimensional mixed-media illustrations celebrate the colourful, the whimsical and the extraordinary aspects of Chagall's life and work. 8 yrs+
