Chagall stands out with his imagination and the love he genuinely spreads onto his each canvas. He refuses to join any movement in particular, especially not to the Surrealist, not totally abondoning them either. Therefore his work shows realistic scenes with surrealist touches. Technically, he enjoyed the mixture of many tools; oil, ink, water.. all join to make up the bright and colorful paintings. He says himself that he "works in whatever medium likes (him) at the moment." He is not bounded by only paintings but has many works in book illustrations,such as for LaFontaine, and church glassworks as well.As seen from this painting, he is fond of using symbols such as a rooster, a sign of fertility.
The exhibition in Pera is not satisfying fully as textures in black ink make up most of the space. Only a small number of his colorful works are on display.
"In our life there is a single color which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love" he says and he makes this emotion clear with his pretty faces he draws and the colors he uses.
