"Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things I love"

Despite living in New York City for not even 3 months, I've already visited the MoMA many times, with the most recent being this past Friday. Of course, it does help that I get in for free with my student ID. Every time that I do go though, I always find myself spending a fair amount of time looking at this painting:


"Birthday" by Marc Chagall. I have only taken a handful of Art History classes, so I'm far from being an expert in the field, but I love his use of color, attention to detail, and influence from his early life along with his commentary on society. Again, I'm no Art scholar, but I know what I like and I love this painting.
