At Table 1922 - 1923

Marc Chagall made this drawing of charcoal on paper, portraying a figure seated at a table. You know, when I look at this, I feel like I’m right there with Chagall. I can almost hear the scratch of the charcoal on the page, as the image comes to life. The lines are simple but deliberate, defining the form of the figure, the table, and the objects on it. Look at how he captures the concentration of the person at the table. What are they writing? A letter? A poem? The beauty of a drawing like this is that it opens up all these possibilities. It reminds me that artists like Chagall are always in conversation, not just with themselves, but with all the artists who came before and after. It's like we’re all sitting at the same big table, sharing stories and inspiring each other.
