Marc Chagall was born in Vitebsk, Byelorussia, in 1887 to a poor Hasidic family.
“If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.” “In our life there is a single color, as on an artist palette which provides the meaning of life and art. … “In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.” = Marc Chagall
An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in virtually every artistic format, including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints.
