Marc Chagall's Death Anniversary


 

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.
