Short Bio
Marc Chagall, born July 7, 1887, in Vitebsk, Belarus (then part of the Russian Empire), and passing on March 28, 1985, in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin.
His work, which includes paintings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries, and fine art prints, transcends the common categorizations of modern art, incorporating elements of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism.
Chagall is best known for his deeply personal, whimsical, and often fantastical works rooted in nostalgia and Jewish culture, drawing heavily on his childhood in Belarus. His unique use of color and form created an unmistakable visual language that conveyed emotion and spirituality, making him one of the 20th century's most significant artists whose work was celebrated for its poetic and innovative approach to visual art.
