Marc Chagall (French, b. Belorussia, 1887–1895), who blended Russian expressionism with French cubism, is considered one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. Born to an Orthodox Jewish family, Chagall studied in Russia and later in Paris, melding Russian expressionism with French cubism. His distinctive treatment of spatial relationships, use of intense color, unique sense of stylized abstraction, and humor earned him a welcome into the circles of both the Russian and European avant-garde. Chagall’s dreamlike imagery, wrought in every medium from painting to stained glass, earned him a worldwide audience, great success, and accolades from noted critics, such as Robert Hughes, who deemed Chagall “the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century.”
The Jewish Museum in New York City is one of the world’s largest and most distinguished institutions celebrating the remarkable scope and breadth of Jewish culture. Devoted to the collection, preservation, and interpretation of art and artifacts relating to the Jewish experience, from ancient times to the present, the Museum serves an audience of people of all religious and cultural backgrounds.
