Marc Chagall (1887-1985), was a Russian-born (Vitebsk, today Belarus, Russia), French painter distinguished for his Surrealist creations.  He is one of the most recognized and influential artists of the 20th century. Chagall had a lifelong fascination with works on paper and post particularly with the technical demands of etching on lithography.  His works treat subjects with humor and fantasy that drew deeply on the unconscious. Chagall's unique imagery is suffused with exquisite poetic inspiration derived from Russian Expressionism and French Cubism.
