[center][h1]台北故宮將展出夏卡爾畫作[/h1][/center]
台北故宮於2011年2月底至5月底，展出20世紀畫家夏卡爾（Marc Chagall, 1887-1985）的畫作，展覽名稱為「生日快樂~夏卡爾的愛與美」（Celebration by Marc Chagall）。故宮將展出夏卡爾的118幅作品，網站上已經可以看到其中10件作品(

夏卡爾生於俄羅斯地區，1892年離開故鄉，前往法國巴黎。第二次世界大戰期間，因為身為猶太人可能遭到納粹迫害，於是前往美國。夏卡爾旅行多處，但是多以故鄉為繪畫主題，表現歐洲北方的鄉村風景。顏色鮮明大膽，畫面如同童話，表現出豐富的想像力。
夏卡爾早年的代表作之一《我與鄉村》(MoietlaVillage)，作於1923-1924年。綠臉的人和白臉的羊佔據畫面一半以上，上方角落有小小的村落景致與人物，下方中央有一棵樹。白色的樹上點綴著綠意，一團團如白雪覆蓋的枝葉，表現出北方冬天的寒冷。村落與人物具有俄羅斯地區的特色，正是夏卡爾故鄉的樣子。夏卡爾的許多作品都顯示歐洲北方的異國情調，和思鄉的情緒，畫家獨特的繪畫風格，值得一看。

Chagall, born in Russia, left his hometown for Paris, France in 1892. During WWII, he was persecuted by the Nazis because of his Jewish heritage, and so he fled to the US. Chagall spent his life traveling but most of his paintings were based on his homeland and showed landscapes of the northern European countryside. He displayed his rich imagination through bold colors and fairytale-like images.
One of Chagalls signature works is Moi et la Village," which was painted during 1923 and 1924. A green-faced man and a white-faced goat take up more than half of the painting. In the top corners are small village scenes and figures, and there is a tree in the bottom center. The white trees are dotted with green, and white snow-like puffs cover the branches, suggesting the chilly winters of the north. The village and people all reveal characteristics of Russia, Chagalls homeland. Most of Chagalls works focus on exotic northern Europe and his longing for his home. It is worth it to go take a look at this artists works and his unique painting style.
