About the author

Marc Chagall

380 books42 followers
Marc Chagall born Moishe Shagal (6 July 1887 – 28 March 1985) was a Russian and French artist of Jewish ancestry.

An early modernist, Chagall was associated with the École de Paris, as well as several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints.

Chagall lived in France and Russia for decades but in 1941, he settled in New York, which was full of writers, painters, and composers who, like himself, had fled from Europe during the Nazi invasions.

After the war, he chose to return to France and spent his last years living in the Côte d'Azur.
