About Marc Chagall

Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was born in present-day Belarus and worked mainly in France. Chagall’s floating lovers, violinists and village scenes draw on folk tradition and memory. Expressionism, which flourished in early 20th-century Germany and Austria, puts emotion before realism. The original image dates from 1970. His saturated blues and reds give his work a dreamlike glow on the wall.
