Chagall Exhibition

Today I visited Liverpool Tate to look at Chagall Modern Master, which explored his unique style mixing modernist influences and his native Jewish Russian culture. I'm not particularly interested in exhibitions, however I was moved by his work and loved how he could look at someone, an animal, or a landscape and make it his own.
When I first walked around the exhibition, I began to notice that he likes to use green, yellow, red, and blue in his work, but with the same tone of colour. I found it very striking and began to enjoy looking at his colourful work.


Chagall's style of working is very unusual, such as painting the head upside down, making the body shape curve, painting people as green or pink. Why does he do this? Show emotion? Expression?
