From Russia with love
The Art Gallery of Ontario’s fall blockbuster hopeful is called “Marc Chagall and the Russian Avant-Garde,” and like any such splashy import show, it’s doing its best to trade on whatever marquee value it might have.
And doubtless, Chagall is it (would you buy a ticket for a show called “Natalia Goncharova” — the next-best represented artist here in volume, and a scene-stealer — “and the Russian Avant-Garde?” Nope, didn’t think so).
Indeed, the slippery, protean painter, born in Belarus but in transit for much of his life between Paris, St. Petersburg, Berlin and eventually New York, achieved no small amount of fame in his own lifetime. He eventually even landed on the cover of TIME magazine in 1965, having inadvertently inspired the iconography of the hit musical “Fiddler on the Roof” (the fiddler was a recurring figure in Chagall’s paintings of eastern European Jewish life).
