I am interested in trivial things, don't judge me for that because I am a man." Chagall's wife - Bella Chagall died of a viral infection. The burning wooden houses in his paintings were a vivid recollection — he saw, for example, the conflagration in 1904 of the ancient wooden Ilyinskaya Church close to his home; later they became, as well, a symbol of the destruction of Jewry.
An artist is tied to his mother's apron strings, humanly and formally obsessed by her closeness. This revived his desire to paint and imbued his brush with a fresh vivacity,
Fry assured him that America had not just cows, but goats too.
As the love of Marc Chagall's life, Bella was his model and his inspiration for 35 years. In 1960, Chagall created stained glass windows depicting the Twelve Tribes of Israel for the synagogue of the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital in Jerusalem.

My Life, his memoir of his experiences in Russia, written when he was thirty-five and about to leave it forever, dwells at length on his early years in Vitebsk, and though some parts are romanticised and unreliable, many details are corroborated by factual sources, letters, and photographs, and the general tenor chimes with other memoirs of shtetl childhoods of the period. "My Sad and Joyful Town" Vitebsk, 1887-1900, "Every painter is born somewhere," Chagall mused as an exile in the United States in the 1940s.
The baroque green and white Uspensky Cathedral, on the hill crowning the city skyline of thirty bright onion-domed churches and sixty synagogues, and the jumble of wooden houses and wandering Jews depicted in paintings such as Over Vitebsk announce a long, mixed cultural heritage.

Many works by Chagall include a violinist either floating in mid-air above a village or sitting on the edge of a peaked roof. Supposedly, this imagery inspired the title of the musical "Fiddler on the Roof.". " The Chagall family and 3,500 pounds of Chagall's artwork were loaded onto a transatlantic ship, and the family spent the next several years in America. Even in the affluent part of Vitebsk, the countryside never seemed far away. His autobiography even includes a passage about his uncle playing the fiddle on a roof. For his first thirteen years his was the tradition-bound upbringing of Orthodox eastern European Jewry, marked by strong family and community bonds, a modest, entirely religious education, poverty, and suspicion — he used to hide under the bed whenever a policeman passed the window — if the Christian world drew near. That is the manner in which I hope I have preserved the influences of my childhood.".
In response eastern European Jewry shaped itself into a vivid, independent community with its own identity and ritual, little touched by secular influence, little tempted by assimilation. A fragile younger brother, Zussy, stayed behind in Lyozno, apprenticed to a hairdresser; unenterprising and childishly vain, he was the only one of the extended family later to take an interest in his nephew's paintings, though he declined to keep a portrait of himself, judging it insufficiently flattering. During the Six Day War, the hospital came under attack.
Born a year after his parents' marriage, Chagall was lavished with unwavering adoration by Feiga-Ita until her death in 1915, and he saw Vitebsk as literally his mother town, his art rooted in his closeness to Feiga-Ita. "If I have made pictures, it is because I remember my mother, her breasts so warmly nourishing and exalting me, and I feel I could swing from the moon," he recalled when he was seventy-nine.
Over there the painter met Virginia Haggard McNeill, with whom he had an affair. Chagall attributed his restlessness to these events of his birthday; as a child, he found the smoke and smouldering roofs and the flurry down to the Dvina exciting. Chagall, who couldn't speak English very well, was turned away from the hospital to which he brought her, being told that it was too late. In 1944, a tragedy struck the Chagall.
