Marc Chagall (1887 – 1985)

He used the same recurring symbols in his painted and printed works, in his mosaics and in the windows and stage-sets he designed. As one of the most important artists of the 20th Century the “painter poet” gave Expressionism a new character. After his first education at private art schools in Saint Petersburg he went to Paris in 1910 where he was involved in the avant-garde art scene. Apart from that, he was inspired by visits to the salons, exhibitions and museums of this exciting city. After the First World War which Chagall spent in Russia he went to Berlin and later returned to Paris. Even after he had immigrated to America in 1941 he returned to his “ville lumière” Paris in 1948. Throughout his lifetime Marc Chagall received numerous commissions and their preparation and execution took him around the world. During his lifetime already he was honored with various international exhibitions, retrospectives and art prizes.
