Marc Chagall was a French painter born in Russia. His family was Jewish and of very modest means, and
he was raised in a ghetto. His mother encouraged his art and struggled to get him into a St. Petersburg
art school. In 1910 he journeyed to Paris to be closer to what he considered to be the 'meca of art'. Chagall
was mostly a colourist and was very much interested in the Simultaneist vision of Robert Delaunay and the
Luminists of the Section d'Or. Chagall returned to Russia in 1914 and married in 1915. An appointment
to Commissar for Fine Arts in 1917 got him involved in several projects for a local academy. In addition,
he worked in the Jewish Theatre and studied engraving in Berlin, before returning to Paris in 1923. At one
time, he illustrated La Fontaine's Fables, Gogol's Dead Souls and the Bible. There was a short period of
Surrealism, but he returned very quickly to colour as a governor, and combined realistic and imaginary
elements. Chagall's commissions included the Assy baptistery (1957), the cathedral of Metz (1960), the
cathedral of Rheims (1974), the Hebrew University Medical Synagogue in Jerusalem (1960), and the
Paris Opera (1963). In July 1973 The Musee' Chagall was dedicated in Nice.
