Marc Chagall (born Moishe Shagal) was a
Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was
associated with several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range
of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained
glass, stage sets, ceramic tapestries and fine art prints. Art critic Robert
Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the
twentieth century" (though Chagall saw his work as "not the dream of
one people but of all humanity"). According to art historian Michael J.
Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation
of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as
the world's pre-eminent Jewish artist". Using the medium of stained glass,
he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN
and the Art Institute of Chicago and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also
did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opéra. Before
World War I, he travelled between Saint Petersburg, Paris, and Berlin. During
this period he created his own mixture and style of modern art based on his
idea of Eastern European Jewish folk culture.
