There is something particularly affecting about the fact that they use chairs, such ordinary things, waiting for people to come and sit down on them and representing those who can never do so again.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-90230314831380711882012-04-17T01:09:31.913-07:002012-04-17T01:09:31.913-07:00The similarities are indeed remarkable.

The vision of red chairs on the street, flowing like a river of blood along the road's course, is overwhelmingly sad. Of course, this Chagall painting would bring the Sarajevo war and it's aftermath to mind, through the red symbolism.
