Russian-French, 1887-1985. Marc Chagall, born as MoisheShagal in 1887 in Belarus, Russia was an internationally recognized painter and an early modernist. Iconography and themes influenced by the Jewish roots of Him permeated most of the initial works of Him. Having moved to Paris in 1910, he became a friend of the vanguard French artists and began experimenting with cubism. Through the race of him, he developed a pretty evident personal language of dream image loans for surrealism mixed with borrowed techniques of cubism, Fauvism and symbolism. The work of Chagall, unlike the contemporary of him, did not follow the rules of pictorial logic and gravitated towards self-expression based on emotional and poetical associations.
Despite this formal instruction and the generalized popularity of realism in Russia at that time, Chagall was already establishing himself his own personal style, which presented an unreality of dreamy and people, places and images that were close to the heart of he. Some examples of this period are the window of it Vitebsk (1908) and my fiancee with black gloves (1909), which he imagined Bella Rosenfeld, whom he had recently committed. In 1977, Chagall received the great medal of the Legion of Honor, the highest scope of France. That same year, he became one of the few artists in history to receive a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre. He died on March 28, 1985, in Saint-Paul-de-expires at 97, leaving a vast collection of work along with a rich legacy as an iconic Jewish artist and pioneer of modernism.
