Above Red Roofs- Magpie Tales 113



Red Roofs Marc Chagall




Above red roofs
His colors sing and sparkle
A lonesome visionary
A gift to us

    I did a Google search of his paintings ... WOWED by the colors he used. Red, primary among them. He was a genius.

    Happy Sunday!

    The poem captures what is special about the picture, and I like the colours and balance too, but I would like to know the story.

    People were indeed fortunate to include Marc Chagall in their numbers for so many, many years. Thank you for pointing that out.

    Much less complicated than Chagall's painting. I like it.
