Art Lecture: Chagall – The Love Story. Soaring in Dreams and in Reality
Join us for a deep, poetic dive into the world of Marc Chagall—a painter of color, memory, and dreamlike love. The lecture will explore the symbols and stories hidden in his paintings, his lifelong devotion to his muse Bella, and the soaring spirit of a man who painted love as a flight above reality.
Mila Ilyina studied art history and anthropology in Moscow. She is the author of numerous articles on the anthropology of art and the psychology of creativity. Mila has taught art history at F1.BayArea_Photo Artllab and regularly gives lectures as part of the Russian-language program at the Jewish Community Center of Silicon Valley. Her lectures—previously held at Stanford University and popular among art lovers of all backgrounds—combine intellectual insight with heartfelt storytelling.
