Chagall, the famous Russian and French artist of Jewish ancestry, brought this beautiful idea to light through his quote, explaining that true art does more than just copy the natural world or directly paint the canvas about what is in front of the eyes; it always has a deeper meaning, a perspective of the artist.
Nature is already full of beauty expressed through landscapes, people, animals, colours, and life itself. However, great art goes a step further. It adds imagination, emotion, personal experience, and a meaning hidden in depths to what already exists.
