Marc Chagall: Music and Dance, p. 2

|
Chagall has long been interested in music and has considered the subject in painting, scenery, the Paris Opera House Ceiling, paintings and backdrops for Lincoln Center, and in many works of art on paper. The fluidity of movement in dance, the very movements within music and within the audience that listens to it, all of these evoke in Chagall something of a sense of his own art and something of the joy that music evokes in and for him.
