Marc Chagall
Russian-French, 1887-1985. Marc Chagall, born as Moishe Shagal in 1887 in Belarus, Russia, was an internationally recognized painter and an early modernist. Iconography and themes influenced by the Jewish roots of Him permeated most of the initial works of Him. Having moved to Paris in 1910, he became a vanguard French artist friend and began experimenting with cubism. Through his race, he developed a pretty clear personal language of dream image loans for surrealism mixed with borrowed techniques of cubism, Fauvism, and symbolism. Unlike the contemporary him, Chagall Painting did not follow the rules of pictorial logic and gravitated towards self-expression based on emotional and poetic associations. I and the people, a painting that he composed in 1911, is a testimony of the ideology of him. Besides his paintings, he is also internationally recognized for his vibrant stained glass and printed works.

Marc Chagall developed an early interest in art. Chagall prints are famous world-wide. After studying painting, in 1907, he left Russia for Paris, where he lived in a colony of artists on the outskirts of the city. Merging the own personal and dreamlike images with fauvism councils and popular cubism in France, Chagall created the most lasting work of him, including I and the people (1911) would be presented in the exhibitions of Salon des Indépendsants. After returning to Vitebsk for a visit in 1914, Wwi's outbreak caught Chagall in Russia. He returned to France in 1923 but was forced to flee from the country and the Nazi persecution during World War II. Find asylum in the US UU, Chagall was involved in the established and costume design before returning to France in 1948. In its last years, he experienced new forms of art and was commissioned to produce numerous works on a large scale.
Marc Chagall was born in a small Hassid community on the outskirts of Vitebsk, Belarus, on July 7, 1887. His father was a pondeager, and his mother ran a small soldier store in the village. When I was a child, Chagall attended Jewish primary school, where he studied Hebrew and the Bible, before attending Russian public school. He began to learn the basics of drawing during this time, but perhaps the most important thing is that he absorbed the world that surrounds him, by keeping the images and the issues that would have largely on most of him.
At age 19, Chagall enrolled in a private art school, from all Jewish and began his formal education in painting, studying briefly with the artist of Portraits Yehuda Pen. However, he left school after several months, moving to St. Petersburg in 1907 to study at the Imperial Society for the Protection of Fine Arts. The following year, he enrolled at the Svanseva School, studying with Set Designer Léon Bakst, whose work had been presented at the Ballets of Sergei Diaghilev. This early experience will also be important for the rear race of Chagall.

Despite this formal instruction and the generalized popularity of realism in Russia at that time, Chagall was already establishing himself his own personal style, which presented an unreality of dreamy and people, places and images that were close to the heart of he. Some examples of this period are the window of it Vitebsk (1908) and my fiancee with black gloves (1909), which he imagined Bella Rosenfeld, whom he had recently committed.
In 1977, Chagall received the grand medal of the Legion of Honor, the highest scope of France. That same year, he became one of the few artists in history to receive a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre. On March 28, 1985, he died in Saint-Paul-de-expires at 97, leaving a vast collection of work along with a rich legacy as an iconic Jewish artist and pioneer of modernism.
