The Promenade (1918): Marc Chagalls Iconic Artwork

Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here picture, “chagall promenade”. Don’t go expectin’ no fancy talk from me, I just tell it like it is.

This Chagall fella, he painted this picture back in 1918. Now, I ain’t no art expert, but from what I gather, it’s a picture of him and his wife, Bella. They seem real happy-like, floatin’ around and all. He seems like a happy fella, just look at that face, gleeful they say, I say he just looks happy.

  • He painted a whole bunch of pictures of him and his missus, seems like he really loved her. That’s real nice, ain’t it? A man lovin’ his wife like that.
  • They say this picture, “The Promenade”, is like a love letter to her. Well, I guess that’s one way to say it. Back in my day, a love letter was somethin’ you wrote on paper, not somethin’ you painted. But times change, I guess.

Anyways, in this picture, you see Chagall, he’s holdin’ onto Bella’s hand real tight like he don’t wanna let her go and he looks real joyful. She’s floatin’ along beside him, lookin’ all peaceful and smilin’. They’re flyin’ or somethin’, who knows. Artists, they do things their own way, I reckon.

Now, I heard tell that this Chagall and his Bella, they had a real good relationship. They respected each other, loved each other. That’s important, you know. A good relationship, it’s like a good garden. You gotta tend to it, water it, make sure it gets enough sunshine. Otherwise, it’ll just wither and die. Seems like they did a good job of tendin’ to their garden, them two.

This picture, it ain’t just some pretty thing to look at. It tells a story. It tells a story ’bout love, ’bout happiness, ’bout bein’ together. And that’s somethin’ we all can understand, ain’t it?

I also heard somethin’ ’bout some other picture, “I and the Village”. That was a long time ago, 1911 they say. He also made some windows for some place called Chicago, real big ones, they gave ’em as a gift. Seems like this Chagall fella, he was a busy man, always paintin’ somethin’. Good for him, I say. Keeps a fella outta trouble, workin’ with his hands. Or a brush, in his case.

Anyways, back to this “chagall promenade” picture. It’s colorful, that’s for sure. Lots of blues and greens and reds. And there’s this bird, or somethin’, flyin’ around. And some houses in the background, all crooked and wonky. It’s like a dream, almost. A happy dream, though. Not one of them nightmares that leave ya sweatin’ and shakin’.

And you know what else? They say you can see this here picture in the mornin’ if you go to some museum real early like. From ten to eleven they said, first hour of the day. Now, I don’t know about you, but that’s awful early for me. I like to sleep in, ya know? But I reckon if you’re real keen on seein’ it up close, you could drag yourself outta bed for that.

So, there ya have it. That’s my take on this “chagall promenade” picture. Like I said, I ain’t no art expert. But I know what I like, and I like this picture. It’s happy, it’s colorful, and it makes me think about love. And that’s a good thing, ain’t it? We could all use a little more love in this world.

In this big ol’ world of art, there’s all sorts of things to look at. Some of it I understand, some of it I don’t. But this Chagall fella, he speaks a language I can understand. The language of love, the language of joy. And that’s a language worth listenin’ to, no matter who you are or where you come from.
