Chagall: 1887 - 1985

top No doubt one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, Marc Chagall (1887-1985) created a unique world full of pathos, poetry, humor, and enchantment, drawing on vivid memories of his Jewish upbringing in Russia. His original style and his connection to the past endured throughout his seven-decade career, despite the great movements and schools of 20th century art which he saw developing around him. All important aspects of Chagall’s work are covered here, from the beginnings in Vitebsk to his death in 1985.作者簡介 Jacob Baal-Teshuva, born 1929, is author, critic and independent curator of museum shows.
