Chagall,who was born in Russia, lived and worked in France, created these wonderful paintings to describe events that happened in his life and from his culture. He lived through world war one in Europe and escaped to New York during World War 2. His work was influenced by other artists and styles, including Surrealism, Cubism and the colors of the Impressionists.
Look for how he uses COLOR, VALUES, and the SIZE of objects in his work to describe a story....
You can see more of his work
