A Fascinating New Book
On The Artist Marc Chagall

A North Carolina woman has just written an intriguing reminiscence of Marc Chagall, the famous 20th century artist. The book is titled Sharing Chagall: A Memoir.  

Vivian Jacobson traces her association with Chagall from her days in Chicago when she and her husband hosted a reception for the noted artist on behalf of the Hadassah Medical Organization in Jerusalem, Israel. Following that event, she became a founding member of the American Friends of Chagall’s Biblical Message Museum in Nice, France. Ultimately, as President of that organization, her closeness with Chagall grew as she served as the primary American source of fund raising for major international projects for the Museum.

Although many scholarly volumes have been written on Chagall, the artist, whose unique career spanned virtually every artistic medium, including paintings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics and tapestries, Vivian Jacobson has instead taken a personal approach as she brings to her readers the essence of Chagall, the man. He inspired her with his message of Hope, Peace, Reconciliation and Love.
 
For the student of Chagall, or for the casual reader who just wants to know a little more about the icon of the 20th century art world, the appendix is worth more than the price of the book.
