Born in Russia 1887, died 1985. He came from a
devout Jewish family, and entered art school in St Petersburg in 1907.
Throughout his career he worked as a sign-painter, and the influence of
these techniques are evident in his paintings. Chagall briefly became
director of Vitebsk art school before designing murals for the Jewish
state theatre in Moscow. His richly coloured lyrical paintings depict
objects and people in unusual juxtapositions, often floating in space. His
later work produced designs for the ballet, stained glass windows and
paintings for the ceilings of the Paris Opera.
