Marc Chagall

Marc Chagall was a celebrated artist born on July 7, 1887, in Vitebsk, Belarus. His art, known for its vivid colors and dreamlike scenes, was influenced by his Jewish heritage.

Chagall's artistic journey began in his childhood, with his family's support. He moved to St. Petersburg in 1907 to study art formally. In 1910, he relocated to Paris, where he befriended famous artists like Picasso and developed a unique style blending Cubism and Surrealism.

World War I brought him back to Russia, where he married Bella Rosenfeld. The war and the Russian Revolution inspired his work. Chagall believed art was a universal language, connecting people through emotions and memories.
