Title Chagall returns to Venice Beach, Venice, 1996

Description Chagall returns to Venice Beach, Venice, 1996. Israel Levin Senior Adult Center, exterior, 201 Ocean Front Walk (between Ozone Court and Rose Avenue). A revised repainting of Chagall Comes to Venice Beach (1991), after the damage caused by the 1994 earthquake forced the Center to make building repairs that destroyed the mural. Much of the imagery comes directly from the work of Russian-Jewish painter Marc Chagall, dropped into a setting of the Venice Beach. At the far left a rabbi is holding a Torah on which is written in Hebrew the 5th Commandant, "Honor thy father and thy mother." At the other end of the mural is a poem about overcoming obstacles, called, "Roots," written in 1991 by a 95-year-old poet, Dora Bayrack. Added to the new version is Moses receiving the Ten Commandants from a black God, and a scene commemorating the 3,000th anniversary of Jerusalem. Acrylic, approximately 15' x 75', by Christina Schlesinger with many assistants. -- Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., p. 195, #30.
