Happy Birthday, Mr. Chagall!

Today marks the 121st year since the birth of Marc Chagall, painter and stained glass artist.
"All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites."
Birthday, 1915
I personally own a print of this piece, "Birthday". Jake framed it for me for my birthday one year, after I had found the print at a garage sale for a few dollars. Yes, a garage sale!
Four Seasons, Chicago, 1974

I also like the mosaic in downtown Chicago.
La Mariée, 1950
My favorite Chagall painting is La Mariée. I'd love to receive a nice framed print of this work whenever I get married.
"Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things I love."
