This book follows Chagall's life through his art and his
understanding of the role of the artist as a political being. It
takes the reader through the different milieus of the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries - including the World Wars and the
Holocaust - to present a unique understanding of Chagall's artistic
vision of peace in an age of extremes. At a time when all
identities are being subsumed into a "national" identity, this book
makes the case for a larger understanding of art as a way of
transcending materiality. The volume explores how Platonic notions
of truth, goodness, and beauty are linked and mutually illuminating
in Chagall's work. A "spiritual-humanist" interpretation of his
life and work renders Chagall's opus more transparent and
accessible to the general reader. It will be essential reading for
students of art and art history, political philosophy, political
science, and peace studies.
