A real suprise for aart lovers - an unusual collaboration among a diverse trio: Rolling Stones bass guitarist-turned-photographer Bill Wyman; French poet-turned-interviwer Andre Verdet; and world-famous painter Marc Chagall, each lending his talent to a joint endeavour that aims at capturing the spirit and the personality of the great artist himself as well as the spirit and the reality of his art.
The three men got together; Verdet interviewd Chagall while Wyman took portraits of the artist and his wife, Vava. The result is a very special look into Chagall’s world.
As we walk through his studio in Saint-Paul, in southern France, we marvel at the dozens of never seen before gouaches and sculptures while he expounds on subjects from his early life in Russia to modern art today.
Equally special, perhaps because none has been seen for many years, are the photographs of Chagall, showing him not as the recluse many believe him to be but as an appealing friend and neighbour.
