Many people forget that the point of art is not necessarily meant for you to like it. The objective is that it make you feel something. This feeling is completely subjective. Just because you feel disgust isn't wrong. Some may love his work, but some may hate it. Both feelings are valid.

I’m in total agreement. But if Chagall was going for what I’m feeling, then.. yuck.

Haha probably not. But you can't change what his art makes you feel.
