Quoted as saying, “The sun of art shone only in Paris. It seemed to me then, as it still does, that there can be no greater revolution of the eye than that I experienced on my arrival in Paris,” Chagall beautifully expresses this in the composition before you. As a couple floats above a canvas of the Eiffel Tower in powerful colors of green and red, Chagall creates a captivating piece.
