About the Artist : Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a Russian-French artist known for his colorful, dreamlike works that blend reality with fantasy. Born Moishe Shagal in Vitebsk, in what is now Belarus, he grew up in a Jewish family and drew inspiration from his Eastern European roots and Jewish heritage throughout his career. Chagall studied art in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and later moved to Paris in 1910, where he immersed himself in the vibrant art scene, encountering artists like Picasso and Matisse. Chagall’s work is characterized by its surreal, poetic imagery and vibrant color palette. His subjects often included floating figures, lovers, musicians, and animals, rendered in a whimsical, folkloric style. Key themes in his work include love, memory, faith, and the joy and hardship of Jewish life. Chagall's iconic paintings, such as I and the Village (1911) and The Blue Violinist, blend elements of Cubism, Fauvism, and Symbolism but defy strict categorization. In the 1940s, during World War II, Chagall and his wife Bella fled to the United States to escape the Nazi occupation of France. This period deepened his exploration of themes of exile and loss, especially after Bella’s death in 1944. After the war, Chagall returned to Europe and eventually settled in France, where he continued to work across various media, including painting, stained glass, and sculpture. Throughout his long career, Chagall created murals, stained glass for cathedrals, and illustrations for literary works. He remains celebrated as a unique, imaginative artist who brought a sense of wonder and mysticism to modern art, reflecting his personal memories, spirituality, and boundless love for life and color
