Marc Chagall

Marc Chagall hat in den Jahren 1957 - 1961 einen Zyklus von fünf Bildern zu dem biblischen Buch des Hohenliedes geschaffen. Pfarrer Klaus Mayer erschließt in diesem Buch dem Leser die einzelnen Bilder sowie den Zyklus als ganzen. "Eine feinsinnigere Umsetzung des Hohenliedes in Bildersprache läßt sich schwerlich vorstellen Chagall und seine Kunst sind ohne den chassidischen Hintergrund nicht denkbar." Telta-Zeitung

'As fresh, poignant and individual as his paintings' Lucy Beckett, TLS, Books of the Year 2018'Here is my soul. Look for me here; here I am, here are my pictures, my roots'Marc Chagall, one of the twentieth century's most popular artists, grew up in a close-knit, bustling Russian-Jewish community, the son of a herring seller. In his colourful, dreamlike autobiography, written as he was about to leave his homeland for good in 1922, he vividly brings to life the memories and places that fed into his unique work, from his shtetl childhood to revolutionary Russia and Belle Èpoque Paris. Filled with Chagall's own evocative illustrations, My Life is as warm, joyful and humane as his art. 'Chagall writes as whimsically as he paints: lovingly ofother people, humorously and lovingly of himself' Daily Mail'Anyone who likes Chagall's paintings will enjoy this book:the work of an unteachable, unspoiled folk artist' Evening Standard

Berlin, 20. Januar 1942. Eine Villa am Großen Wannsee, Reinhard Heydrich, SS-Obergruppenführer, Chef des Reichssicherheitshauptamtes, engster Vertrauter und Mitarbeiter Himmlers, hat 14 führende Persönlichkeiten des Reiches zu einer Geheimkonferenz mit Frühstück geladen. Einziger Punkt der Tagesordnung: die sogenannte Entlösung der Judenfrage. Das später aufgefundene Sachprotokoll dieser Konferenz sowie Dokumente aus dem Umfeld, insbesondere die Aussagen Eichmanns, bilden die Grundlage der filmischen Rekonstruktion, die es unternimmt, die Aktivitäten der Schreibtischtäter authentisch ins Bild zu setzen. Das Judentum wird eine statistische Größe, der Holocaust ein Aktenvorgang, der Genozid ein Transportproblem. Eine Gruppe durchaus normal wirkender Menschen löst eine in der Geschichte einmalige Vernichtungsaktion aus: den "verwalteten", "ordentlichen" Völkermord. Die Diskrepanz zwischen der Durchschnittlichkeit der Täter und der Ungeheuerlichkeit der Tat macht den Film zu einer schockierenden Erfahrung.

My Life was written in Moscow in 1921-1922, when Chagall was thirty-five years old. Although long out-of-print, it remains one of the most extraordinarily inventive and beautifully told of all autobiographies. The text is accompanied by twenty plates which Chagall prepared especially to illustrate his life story. Together, the words and pictures paint an incomparable portrait of one of the greatest painters of this century, and of the now vanished milieu which inspired him.
