The exhibition ‘Marc Chagall. Una retrospettiva 1908–1985’, sponsored by the Municipality of Milan-Culture, organized and produced by Palazzo Reale, 24 ORE Cultura – Gruppo 24 ORE, Arthemisia Group and GAmm Giunti and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, is curated by Claudia Zevi in collaboration with Meret Meyer.

Over two hundred and twenty works – mainly paintings from 1908 onwards, when Chagall painted his first work Le Petit Salon, right up to his final, monumental works of the 1980s – which the public can admire at Palazzo Reale from 17 September 2014 to 1 February 2015.

The exhibition theme therefore focuses on a new interpretation of the language of Chagall, whose poetic vein developed throughout the 20th century out of a blend of the best western European traditions: from his original Jewish culture to the Russian culture and his encounter with French avant-garde painting.
Through his highly original poetic language he was therefore able to create a new universe from the three different cultures that he had assimilated.

The visitors will also find in Chagall a sense of wonder at nature and the amazement inspired by living creatures that places him closer to mediaeval sources than 20th-century ones.
Flowers and animals are a constant presence in his paintings, enabling him on the one hand to overcome the Jewish interdiction of human depiction, while on the other becoming metaphors for a possible world in which all living beings can live in peace as in Russian mediaeval culture.
His art constitutes a sort of metissage between cultures and traditions. The fundamental key to his modernity lies in his desire to transform contamination into a value, a work of art into a language able to ask questions that have as yet been left unanswered by mankind.
