No doubt one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, Marc Chagall (1887-1985) created a unique world full of pathos, poetry, humor, and enchantment, drawing on vivid memories of his Jewish upbringing in Russia. His original style and his connection to the past endured throughout his seven-decade career, despite the great movements and schools of 20th century art which he saw developing around him. All aspects of Chagall`s work are covered here, from paintings to stained glass, tapestries, ceramics, and more."Jacob Baal-Teshuva's expertise in Marc Chagall's life and work makes this informative, well-illustrated, and exciting monograph a beautiful book which I warmly recommend." -Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate for Peace, 1986About the author:Jacob Baal-Teshuva, born 1929, is author, critic and independent curator of museums shows.
