Modern Kids: Marc Chagall, I and the Village, 1911

The Museum of Modern Art has not included the painting with the podcast for Marc Chagall’s I and the Village, perhaps due to copyright law. I’ve included a link to the painting. If at all possible, open two windows on your browser. Use one to listen to the podcast, the other to view the painting at the same time.
