‘ LIFE IN BLUE ’ INTERPRETED BY CÉCILE BART AT THE CHAGALL MUSEUM IN NICE Until August 30
his stained-glass windows ‘ La Création du Monde ’ opening up into the sky .
‘ Je suis bleue ’ is a feminized version of Chagall who identified himself with this colour so vivid , so present and luminous in his paintings . A keen colourist and movement interpreter , Cécile Bart has designed her exhibition in the spirit of a dialogue with this artist of Belarusian origin inspired by his ‘ Biblical Message ’, but still true to the paths of abstraction .
