Clearly inspired by the art of Marc Chagall

I really like this Chagall style piece. What I also really like about it is how the face of the mother subject is actually not so Chagall-like, which gives it a unique feel overall.

Here are some nice Chagall etchings for more inspiration.

Thanks for the post!

Andrew, thanks really, really a lot! I'm totally in love with Chagall art.Watching his paintings I really start to appreciate the power of expressionism, and I feel more and more interested in it rather than fetishist technique.

You are very welcome. I thought you might like this quote from "Chagall: A Biography" by Jackie Wullschlager...

"When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what color really is."
