Chagall

Basically what I was talking about was his fixation with angel/Jesus/devil themes (with a side order of roosters/chickens?)and their portrayal.

For example, "Abraham et les trois Anges" is an enormous canvas (all of his paintings in the gallery are enormous) of overwhelming dark red with three angels holding chickens(?) as Abraham looks on.

There was an after-world theme to many of the paintings in the gallery and some of them really struck me as funny or over the top. They reminded me of that comical painting in "Mickey Blue Eyes" where Jesus is mowing people down with a machine gun.

Not that I didn't like the paintings -- quite the opposite -- they just struck me as a little bent.
