Never understood the big deal about Chagall

The dream influences, and his use of color, as well as his melange of modernist elements, without resorting to a strict, say, Cubism, or whatnot. I find him to be really unique. I guess that's the bottom line.

surely you meant another Belgian, when comparing Gonsalves: René Magritte
Folon's style is rather far away from the surrealism current

Well, yes, Magritte for sure. But I see some similarities with Folon's sort of "illusory" appearances, as well.

Chagall is very hit-and-miss for me. I like some of the illustrations he did for Biblical stories. The rest, not so much.
