Saturday 27th January 2024 – Art, Books & Culture Research Group at The Beecroft: Finding his Vision – the early career of Marc Chagall

Join the ABC Research Group at The Beecroft Gallery, Southend

on Saturday 27th January, 11.15am – 12.30pm

to discuss the life and art of Marc Chagall.

Focusing especially on his career before exile in 1922, we’ll look at Chagall’s vision and inspiration, in Vitebsk, Paris and the first revolutionary years of Soviet Russia.

As always we’ll seek as many resources for further independent study as possible. The Tate website as well as the National Museum of Marc Chagall in Nice website are certainly brilliant starting points. And perhaps the best in-depth biography of the artist is by Jackie WullschlagerChagall: Love and Exile” (published by Penguin in 2008 it seems it’s only now available from libraries).

No need to book. £10 on the door. These meetings are informative & collaborative discussions open to everyone wishing to share their love for visual art. Coffee at The Jazz Centre downstairs afterwards!
