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.
