Quote from Marc Chagall

When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art."

Marc Chagall was a Russian-French Jewish artist of the 20th century. He was an early modernist, and created works in painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints.
