Marc Chagall lived a long, fruitful life, producing paintings, etchings, book illustrations, stained-glass windows, and other forms of art, all infused with poetry. His works have a lyrical, emotional resonance informed by his love of humanity. His work incorporates different styles, with elements of cubism, symbolism, surrealism, futurism, in his works.

He was a pioneer of modernism, born in a shtetl, leaving a rich legacy of unforgettable images. This talk requires two parts to tell the story.


Janet Mandel presents illustrated talks on a variety of art history topics at adult schools, libraries, museums, senior centers, community centers, and similar venues. She was named runner-up for the New Jersey Council for the Humanities (NJCH) Teacher of the Year award.


This program is co-sponsored by The Edison Arts Society.
