Marc Chagall is one of the most prominent painters of the 20th century. He created lots of works that have a huge significance in our days. In addition to paintings, he also engaged in stenography, writing poems, and creating book illustrations.

Chagall was born at 1887 in a poor Jewish family in Vitebsk, Belarus. He saw an importance in a good education and it was a reason of his transfer to St. Petersburg to continue his studies at the Zvantseva School of Drawing and Painting. Chagall moved to Paris in 1910, just as Cubism was emerging as the leading avant-garde movement. There he met many famous artists and made many other acquaintances. The four years of his first stay in the French capital are often considered Chagall’s best phase.
