Marc Chagall
Marc Zaharovich Chagall (7 July 1887 – 28 March 1985), was a Russian-French artist associated with several major artistic styles. He had two basic reputations, writes Lewis: as a pioneer of modernism and as a major Jewish artist. In Paris, he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism. "When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is".
