La Mariee
La Mariee or "The Bride" in French is a very complex painting. Marc Chagall did not usually use such contrasting colors in his pieces, but this particular piece was meant to capture your attention. The bride is wearing a bright red dress with a traditional white veil and flowers. She stands out because it is as if she is be presented directly to the viewer of the piece. Compared to the rest of the picture, she is rather bright. The rest of the picture is very blue and muted. The characters seem to be celebrating the bride. Perhaps this is how Marc Chagall viewed his fiancée who, at the time, was separated from him. The piece is very beautiful and a stand out in Chagall's collective works.
I enjoyed how you described what was in the painting. I also like how you (I am assuming because it won't show up) a picture that goes along with the blog entry. To make it better, I think you could of said what you think he might of been thinking or feeling when he made this piece.
