"My hands were too soft.. I had to find some special occupation, some kind of work that would not force me to turn away from the sky and the stars, that would allow me to discover the meaning of life." Chagall

Born in the town of Vitebsk Belarus (at the time part of the Russian empire) Marc Chagall was raised in a Hasidic family. During his school years, Chagall adopted a habit of drawing and copying images from books. This quickly developed into a love for art and the choice to pursue it as a career.

Throughout his 75-year career, during which he produced an astounding 10,000 or more works, Chagall drew upon his Jewish roots for inspiration. He used his great talent to create a unique world full of magic, poetry, enchantment and fantasy, rich in mythological and symbolic references.  He continued, in his paintings, to invoke his birthplace of Vitebsk, with its strong Jewish traditions, customs and everyday life.

Chagall occupied a unique place in world art by creating a form all his own; a poet, who revealed his poetry through colors and shapes, life experiences, memories, love and more...

Some of his work:

"Paris 1913"

"La Revolution"

"Moi et le village"
