In addition to their East European Jewish background both were exposed to Western culture. Chagall absorbed such turn-of-the-century avant-garde artistic styles as Expressionism Fauvism Cubism Abstract and Surrealism. From these he created a unique blend to which he brought the various Russian influences he had absorbed as well as his own special highly imaginative and inventive personal style. Bashevis-Singer brought to his works philosophical psychological scientific medical and legal knowledge. While both artists were affected by these Western influences they remained firmly entrenched within the Jewish culture - the Yiddish language and life in the "shtetl" - from which they drew their inspiration. Their world consisted of a special blend of reality and dream realism and fantasy. The book demonstrates that they shared - albeit unwittingly - a common "meta-realistic" style combining the earthly with the supernatural and the transcendental. Their works allude to real place names dates facts and historical events while at the same time contain occult forces angels demons mysticism and mystery. Comparisons range over the Jewish "shtetl" Jewish artists love and despair the Holocaust and war religion and mysticism. In the works of both artists hope springs eternal; it is a hope emanating from the mystical realm of life as it relates to the magic of creation and the cosmic logic of the Creator. Artist and storyteller sail between hard-core reality and the yearning for redemption between Judaism and universal values between exile and revelation. . 2011. 1845194098 .
