| Description |
Marc Chagall's (1887-1985) work is a poignant, poetic evocation of Jewish life in his native East European town, and an ode to love. Surprisingly, in a number of his paintings Chagall depicted faces of central characters in most unusual colors, such as green or blue. We assume that this feature expresses a form of personality-color synesthesia. In this variant of developmental synesthesia, viewing known faces elicit emotionally mediated color percepts that in some occasions present with colored faces or bodies. To better understand that feature, we investigated Chagall's paintings and writings. |
