Marc Chagall (1887–1985), the Belarusian-born French artist, is celebrated for his poetic visual language that blends fantasy, memory, and folklore. His dreamy, figurative style drew inspiration from Fauvism, Cubism, and Expressionism. Known for his bold use of color, particularly radiant reds, blues, and greens, Chagall painted vivid scenes of love, music, and nature that transcend time and geography.

Chagall’s work from this period resides in major institutions including the Musée National Marc Chagall (Nice), MoMA, The Met, Centre Pompidou, and Tate Modern.
