A pioneer of modern art, Marc Chagall (1887-1985) is known for his imaginative paintings and prints that combine figures, folklore and fantasy. Raised in Russia, Chagall mastered his craft after moving to Paris in 1910, where he lived and worked among a colorful group of artists. In conjunction with two exhibitions at the D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts, Chagall and Friends and Chagall for Children (opening June 27), this talk will focus on the influential artists and movements, including cubism and surrealism, which ultimately helped to shape Marc Chagall’s unique style.
