'It was unfortunate that, when Justin fell in love for the first time in his entire life, he should have been nearing his 40th year. It was doubly unfortunate that the object of his desire and the disturber of his serenity should be Kitty Maguire , a lump of a girl not yet 18.'

Later this week, the Royal
Academy will unveil a major exhibition of the work of Marc Chagall. To many, Chagall is the great optimist of 20th-century art, the man whose colourful images of village life and love evoke a vanished age of innocent happiness. But, as Dr Harry Shukman shows, Chagall's early development was deeply affected by three very different influences: the small-town Jewish culture in which he was brought up; the ferment of ideas around the Russian Revolution; and the great artistic cosmopolitanism of Paris.

During the 60s,
Antoinette Sibley emerged as one of the leading dancers of her generation; as a soloist with the Royal Ballet she was acclaimed both for her performances in new works and for her interpretation of great classical roles. Then, in the 70s, a cartilage operation halted her career - for ever, she believed. But now, several years and two children later, she has made a triumphant return to the ballet stage. Sushila Anand charts the special qualities of personality, talent and physique that made it possible.

Reporter Geoff Watts Producer DEBORAH COHEN
