love is another key theme in Chagall's paintings. especially those of his first wife, Bella. Chagall married Bella in 1915. her role in Chagall's life and art was very important. Chagall painted many images of theme together and these works clearly show the feeling of romantic love and joy he felt for her. even after he death in 1944, Bella continued using these theme as he developed his independent artistic style. he learned about cubism while living in Paris, where many famous modernist artistic of the time lived. Chagall said, "i love all i have done to paris," yet he never was part of any art movement. Chagall's power is in the way he used the cubist and abstract style of his time to create his own dreamlike image of the subject he loved
