Tossa de Mar (Catalunya)

"El Violinista Celest"

 

El pintor d'origen bielorús Mark Zakharovich Shagalov, més conegut com Marc Chagall (1887-1985) es refugià a Tossa, juntament amb d'altres artistes, durant els convulsos anys 30. Els estius de 1933 i 1934 els passà a la casa que avui ocupa la cantonada dels carrers St. Telm i Rosa Rissech. Aquí pintà la cèlebre obra que hom pot admirar al Museu Municipal de Tossa. En ella, l'artista rememora, a través de la finestra de l'habitació de Tossa, la seva vila natal a la llunyana Bielorússia. Un violinista flotant sembla connectar els dos mons, el passat i el present. Avui en dia, els seus quadres es poden vendre per 6 milions d'euros.

The Belarusian painter Mark Zakharovich Shagalov, better known as Marc Chagall (1887-1985) took refuge in Tossa, along with other artists during the turbulent 30's. The summers of 1933 and 1934 went to the house that now occupies the corner of St.Telm /Rosa Rissech streets. Here he painted his famous work preserved at Municipal Museum in Tossa: "The celestial violinist". In this painting, the artist recalls, through the bedroom window of Tossa, his hometown in the far Belarus. A floating violinist seems to connect the two worlds, past and present. Today, his paintings can sell for 6 million euros.
