Initially, I was a bit sceptical about going to both the Tate and to Rankin's exhibition because I hadn't really enjoyed visiting the Tate in the past as its not really my thing... I'm not a big fan of the type of art where it seems as though anyone could do it, I appreciate pieces that take time and a lot of skill rather than the concept of work.
The reason I wasn't looking forward to looking at Rankin's exhibition was because I didn't like the sound of it as he's taking photos of dying people/ people with life threatening illnesses so I thought that it was going to be depressing... But it turned out to not be depressing, but rather inspiring. I felt as though it was sad but the people in the photos were so happy and just had to accept and live with their conditions... It just shows how something like that could happen to anyone and just how fragile life is.
And as for Chagall's work, I was surprised at how much of it I liked and was impressed by how he could express symbolism and concepts in his paintings. I really liked his use of colour and brush strokes, however, I wasn't so keen on the style of some of the shapes and the lack of realism, but that's just personal taste...
Here is one of my favourite paintings of his:

The Promenade
The two people in this painting are him and his wife/partner Bella and the painting symbolizes their love. I really like what it symbolizes and the cubism style. In addition, I like the simplicity of it and the colours.
