When it comes to art, there are some masterpieces and some projects which leave a lot to be desired. In either case, the artist was generally inspired by something outside oneself. In the case of Kabbalah Inspired Paintings, it is the information provided in this very mystical and spiritual ideology. While some consider Kabbalah a religion, in actuality it is an ideology tied to Jewish mysticism and exists outside the Jewish religious order.

Marc Chagall is one artist in this genre. Born Moishe Shagal on July 6, 1887, a Russian Jew, the artist lived well into old age until 1985, something that was quite unusual at the time. The artist left quite a catalog of works including stained glass and expressionist paintings along and cubism. Currently, there are Chagall works being housed in museums and galleries around the globe.

To better understand Chagall and other artists working in this genre, one must first understand what it is that inspires this type work. The term Kabbalah refers to the ancient mystical teachings which create a harmonious wholeness within each individual whom studies and imparts the ideology into every day life. Often mistaken as a religious path, Kabbalah is not a religion but rather an ideology which can help promote peace, love and everlasting wellness within an individual.

As with the teachings, the paintings and other pieces inspired by the Kabbalah often promote a feeling harmony and well being. Themes in the genre tend to include Sacred Geometry, the 42 letters which reflect the names of God and the Tree of Life. In addition, the teachings use natural resources such as air, earth, fire and water and often portray a sense of a Spiritual aspect.

The popular website Pinterest host a number of paintings and prints by Marc Chagall. While some are only available for viewing, others are available for purchase. In addition, there are a number of products which feature works by Chagall such as magnets and other items available on websites such as Amazon and Wish.

When desiring to view the work of Chagall in person, one of the best places to do so is at the Franklin Bowles and Franklin Weinstein galleries and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art also known as SFMOMA in San Francisco's Union Square. Some of the most dramatic paintings by Chagall can be found at these locations. In fact, when one of the galleries features a Chagall in the window, most passers by are drawn inside by the beautiful color and light which exudes from the painting.

Anyone interested in checking newer art in this genre may want to visit the Kosmic-Kabbalah website. For, the site features more modern art inspired by the Kabbalah and the mysteries found in the studies. While akin to Chagall, one painter David Friedman uses similar themes using canvas and print mediums. While this is the case, the dramatic effects, themes and colors are all in tune with Chagall and other artists whom have worked in the genre.

Whether seeking to acquire a painting by Chagall, a stained glass window or peruse the more modern paintings of Friedman, most works are breathtaking. In addition, viewers tend to lose sight of oneself while viewing these works which can help to clear the mind and allow for a more accurate interpretation of the work.
