Discovering Chagall And Friedman Kabbalah Inspired Paintings

By Sharon Stevens


While there are a number of paintings based on spirituality and scripture, those based on mystical aspects are often some of the most breathtaking. Take for example, the artist Marc Chagall, while popular for light and shadow, a number of pieces by this renowned artist were Kabbalah Inspired Paintings.

Marc Chagall is one artist in this genre. Born Moishe Shagal on July 6, 1887, a Russian Jew, the artist lived well into old age until 1985, something that was quite unusual at the time. The artist left quite a catalog of works including stained glass and expressionist paintings along and cubism. Currently, there are Chagall works being housed in museums and galleries around the globe.

To better understand these artists and others, one must first understand the inspiration behind various works. In a number of cases, Chagall and Friedman were clearly inspired by themes included in studies related to Jewish mysticism. For, while the Kabbalah has often been mistaken as a religious path, it is actually an ideology which is separate and apart from the Jewish faith.

As with the teachings, the paintings and other pieces inspired by the Kabbalah often promote a feeling harmony and well being. Themes in the genre tend to include Sacred Geometry, the 42 letters which reflect the names of God and the Tree of Life. In addition, the teachings use natural resources such as air, earth, fire and water and often portray a sense of a Spiritual aspect.

The popular website Pinterest host a number of paintings and prints by Marc Chagall. While some are only available for viewing, others are available for purchase. In addition, there are a number of products which feature works by Chagall such as magnets and other items available on websites such as Amazon and Wish.

When desiring to view the work of Chagall in person, one of the best places to do so is at the Franklin Bowles and Franklin Weinstein galleries and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art also known as SFMOMA in San Francisco's Union Square. Some of the most dramatic paintings by Chagall can be found at these locations. In fact, when one of the galleries features a Chagall in the window, most passers by are drawn inside by the beautiful color and light which exudes from the painting.

Individuals interested in checking out newer artists working in the genre may want to check out the Kosmic-Kaballah website. The website features newer pieces which were inspired by the teachings and ancient wisdom of the Kabbalah. While akin to Chagall, the artist, David Friedman, takes a more modern approach using canvas and print formats to express a number of themes and ideas found in the teachings.

Whether looking to acquire a Chagall painting or stained glass window, or peruse the more modern paintings of David Friedman on the Kosmic Kabbalah website, most all of the art is breathtaking. In addition, the pieces lead viewers into a sacred place in which it is possible to get lost in the moment, thus clearing the mind. After which, it can be far easier to understand the various physical and spiritual aspects of a piece.
