A prolific artist, Chagall distinguished himself as an expressive colourist. His work is characterized by his consistant use of folkloric imagery and vibrant colour. His style, although developed in the years before World War I, underwent little progression throughout his long career. Though he preferred to be known as a Belarussian artist, following his exile from the Soviet Union in 1923 he was recognized as a major figure of the Ecole de Paris, especially in the later 1920s and the 1930s. In his last years he was regarded as a leading artist in stained glass. * * His emblematic irrationality shook off all outside influences while his compositions were based on colour, calling up chimerical processions of memory where reality and the imaginary are woven together into a legendary artist.  A painter-poet celebrated by Apollinaire and Cendrars, Chagall brought back the forgotten dimension of metaphor into French formalism. * *
