From 22 December until 27 March at the Museum of Ara Pacis are on display 140 works including paintings and drawings, some of them unpublished, the Russian born French painter, Chagall. From Wikipedia
you can read in his works that Chagall was inspired by the popular life of European Russia and drew many biblical episodes that reflect his Jewish culture.
Chagall's works fit into several categories of contemporary art in Paris took part in the movements that preceded the First World War and was involved in avant-garde. However, it remained on the margins of these movements, including Cubism and Fauvism. It was very close to the Paris School and its exponents, such as Amedeo Modigliani.
His paintings are full of references to his childhood, although often preferred to forget the bad times. He was able to communicate happiness and optimism through the choice of bright colors and shiny. Chagall's world was colored, as if seen through a glass window of a church.

Questa mostra ha scelto, si legge sul sito dell'Ara Pacis , di indagare le affinità che l’artista condivise con i Surrealisti e il forte legame con la sua identità religiosa.
Osservando le opere di Chagall si può cogliere la peculiarità che contraddistingue l’universo dell’artista: i personaggi, gli animali, gli oggetti che popolano paesaggi complessi spesso sfidano la legge di gravità. Il mondo che Chagall raffigura è, nel vero senso del termine, un mondo “sottosopra” in cui «il tempo non ha sponde», per riprendere il titolo di un quadro degli anni Trenta, nel quale fidanzati, sposi, rabbini, musicisti, orologi a pendolo, carretti, asini, galli e il pittore stesso - che si è ritratto tante volte nelle sue tele - si abbandonano ad audaci acrobazie come i circensi, altro soggetto che l’artista raffigura tanto volentieri.
