Homage to Chagall: The Colours of Love is a 1977 Canadian documentary film about artist Marc Chagall directed by Harry Rasky.
Imaginatively utilizing more than 300 mosaics, stained-glass windows, murals and paintings, plus an in-depth interview with the famous Russian artist himself, Homage to Chagall is both a tribute to and a celebration of a life of intense productivity that encompassed everything from primitive mysticism to cubist intellectuality.
Writing in the Saturday Review , Judith Crist stated in that Homage to Chagall, "the filmmaker has made magical blend of sight and sound that transcends the screen in a triumphant tribute to humanism." Crist continues that Homage to Chagall "can be seen again and again, as it should. So masterly a homage to a master is a rare and wonderful achievement." [1]
Homage to Chagall: The Colours of Love was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. [2] [3] The Directors Guild of America awarded Rasky with Outstanding Direction of a Documentary/Actuality in 1985.
