Marc Chagall
Honored for his distinct style and pioneering role among Jewish artists, Marc Chagall (Russian-French, 1887-1985) painted dream-like subjects rooted in personal history and Eastern European folklore. He worked with several mediums, such as painting, printmaking, and book illustration. Additionally, he worked with stained glass windows, which can be seen in New York, France, and Jerusalem. Eventually, Chagall arrived in Paris in 1910 and began experimenting with Cubism, befriending painters like Robert Delaunay and Fernand Leger.
Chagall’s style has been described as a hybrid of Cubism, Fauvism, and Symbolism, and his supernatural subjects are thought to have significantly influenced the Surrealists. Though he actively engaged in the Parisian artistic community, art for Chagall was first and foremost a means of personal expression. He preferred to be considered separately from other artists, his imagery and allegory uniquely his own.
