Marc Chagall: What Colour Is
Paradise? (Adventures in Art) by
Elisabeth Lemke
Wonderful Introduction For Older Children
What color is Paradise? This and other intriguing questions are answered
in this delightful look at Chagalls brightly-colored biblical paintings. For
Chagall, God was present in all people and all things. In his paintings he
therefore mixed together the story of the Bible and the everyday world like
the colors in his palette. His great paintings such as the Creation of Man,
Paradise and Noahs Ark invite young and old alike to get to know the most
beautiful stories of the Book of Genesis.
Personal Review: Marc Chagall: What Colour Is Paradise?
(Adventures in Art) by Elisabeth Lemke
Marc Chagall's paintings are beautiful and intricate, and this book attempts
to deliver both reproductions of his paintings and an abbreviated
biography. There are a few photographs scattered throughout as well,
mostly of Chagall's family. I would warn readers, however, that even

though the book is listed as suitable for children ages 4-8, a 4-year-old is
not likely to enjoy this book, except perhaps as a free-form discussion tool.
The narrative is too dense (short as it is) to hold such a young child's
attention. My daughter, 4, is very bright and social, but she still couldn't
look at the book with me in a conventional way. Instead we talked about
what we saw in the pictures and how the colors blended together and
created a mood, sometimes sad, sometimes happy. The book is worth
purchasing for an older child, however, and I would recommend it for
children at least age 6 and up. It is rather thin, but is filled with wonderful
things.
