Marc Chagall, who passed away
on 28 March 1985, at Saint-Paul, Alpes-Maritimes, France, aged 97, was a
Belorussian-born French painter, printmaker, and designer who composed his
images based on emotional and poetic associations, rather than on rules of
pictorial logic. Predating Surrealism, his early works, such as I and the
village (1911), were among the first expressions of psychic reality in modern
art. His works in various media include sets for plays and ballets, etchings
illustrating the Bible, and stained-glass windows.
