Among the works in this exhibition are a series of hand colored etchings of Bible stories.

 

 

  According to the museum, "Chagall's storytelling paintings portray a fantastic pictorial world where heaven and earth seem to meet.

 

 

  It's a world where people and animals -- cows, goats, donkeys, horses and birds -- float upside down or sideways, irrespective of the laws of gravity and couples are always in love".

November through February, the museum also presents an exhibit of treasures from the permanent collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art in Connecticut

 

 

This exhibition features Colonial and Federal Portraits, the Hudson River School, American Impressionism, the Ash Can School, Early Modernism, Social Realism, Surrealism, Pop & Op and more.
