How did Chagall's personal background and artistic evolution influence his interpretation of biblical narratives, as shown in the exhibition?

Chagall's Old Testament illustrations, showcased in Saarbrücken until April 13, 2025, reveal his lifelong engagement with biblical themes. Raised in a religious Hasidic family, he viewed the Bible as a profound source of poetic inspiration, aiming to convey its message through art. The exhibition presents 120 works from four decades, demonstrating his unique interpretation of biblical narratives outside of traditional religious iconography.
