REALLY… SUMMER’S COMING… REALLY!!! The sun will be shining so I’ll get my feet  moving. Dancing in the summer time can be a sweaty job. But, with the weather we have been having, who can’t help but dance to either take your mind off it, or get ready for it to actually be warm! This towel with a fringe, from the early 20th century, depicts a Russian folk dance. Their joyous dancing will hopefully inspire you to do a two-step of your own. Remember your sunscreen and water, and, of course, don’t forget your dancing shoes. Domestic Textile, 20th century. Collection of Yeshiva University Museum. (1989.345)

A STROLL IN THE CLOUDS … HOW DOES CHAGALL MAKE YOU FEEL? Ah, what a lovely summer day for a stroll on the outskirts of the village… And what a lovely summer day for a slight flight-of-fancy (or is it fanciful flight?) along that stroll…  What are your feelings based on this image from Marc Chagal? The perhaps best known for his many depictions of shtetl (small Jewish town) life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, not to mention the famous Chagall Windows in the Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem in Jerusalem, Marc Chagall’s Der Spaziergang (The Stroll) is emblematic of the types of work through which he distinguished himself: somewhat cubist in style, focusing on the life and symbols of provincial life, and often mixing familiar forms with a fantastical depiction of emotional experience.  I see this and wish I was there…. And, just in case you’re wondering, this is not the only version Chagall made.  You might, for example, find some interest in the following drawing from 1922, which was available at Christie’s in 2008: Thanks artandopinion! Der Spaziergang 1917 Marc Chagall What emotions does this evoke from you?
