Discovering Chagall And Friedman Kabbalah Inspired Paintings

By Sharon Stevens


When it comes to art, there are some masterpieces and some projects which leave a lot to be desired. In either case, the artist was generally inspired by something outside oneself. In the case of Kabbalah Inspired Paintings, it is the information provided in this very mystical and spiritual ideology. While some consider Kabbalah a religion, in actuality it is an ideology tied to Jewish mysticism and exists outside the Jewish religious order.

Marc Chagall worked in a variety of mediums and left quite a legacy for the world to enjoy upon his passing. Mostly known for his dramatic stained glass window paintings, cubism and expressionism, Chagall also worked in other areas. Whereas, Friedman host a website which includes a number of different paintings and prints inspired by the ancient mysteries and wisdom of the Kabbalah.

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.

For those interested in perusing these inspirational pieces, a number can be found the Pinterest website. While some are only available for viewing, there are also a number of prints for sale by different artists and markets. While stained glass paintings tend to outnumber other works, Chagall worked in a variety of mediums.

When looking to view works by Chagall in person, there are several galleries in the Union Square district of San Francisco, California which host a number of paintings and prints. In addition, several works by Chagall can be found at the San Francisco Modern Art Museum in the permanent collection. In fact, gallery owners often choose to feature Chagall in window displays on a regular basis as the dramatic color and light make the pieces quite inviting.

Anyone interested in checking newer art in this genre may want to visit the Kosmic-Kabbalah website. For, the site features more modern art inspired by the Kabbalah and the mysteries found in the studies. While akin to Chagall, one painter David Friedman uses similar themes using canvas and print mediums. While this is the case, the dramatic effects, themes and colors are all in tune with Chagall and other artists whom have worked in the genre.

When looking to acquire a Chagall painting or stained glass window or desiring to peruse the more modern paintings of David Friedman, searching for a local gallery dealing in these pieces is often the best bet. In many cases, when an inquiry is made at a gallery, the curator will attempt to locate a desired piece or pieces whether from the artist, a private dealer or another gallery.
