"After Matisse, only Chagall truly understood color." —Pablo Picasso’s words capture the legendary status of this Jewish artistic genius. In February 2025, California’s Clars Auction House drew global collectors with two Chagall works on paper (Winter: Christmas Parade-Four Seasons and Sunday), estimated at $300,000–500,000. Months later, his oil painting Bouquet with Fruit (1949) sold for £730,800 in London. How did this war-torn exile conquer the art world with dreamlike hues?
In April 2025, an incident at Rotterdam’s Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum sent shockwaves through the art world: a child accidentally scratched Mark Rothko’s monumental painting Orange on Grey on Maroon, No. 8, causing damage valued at approximately $58 million (¥410 million CNY). This sparked global debate—some questioned museum security, others criticized parental supervision. But a deeper question emerged: Why does a painting of “color blocks” command such astonishing value and attention?

In 1917, Marcel Duchamp submitted a signed urinal titled Fountain to a New York art exhibition. It wasn’t beautiful, it wasn’t handmade—but it broke the rules. Duchamp declared that art could be an idea, not just an object. Thus began the era of contemporary art, where meaning, not mastery, took center stage.
Ever stood in a gallery and thought, “What is this painting even saying? Why does it cost that much?” You're not alone. The good news? Understanding the “language” of art isn’t reserved for the elite—it’s something anyone can learn to feel.
