What materials did Marc Chagall use?
Marc Chagall used a variety of materials in his art. The Russian-French modernist worked in nearly every artistic medium. Influenced by Symbolism, Fauvism, Cubism and Surrealism, Chagall developed his own distinctive style, combining avant-garde techniques and motifs with elements drawn from Eastern European Jewish folk art.

Chagall produced magnificent stained-glass windows for structures in France, Israel, Germany and the United States. Additionally, his lively paintings of Paris are revered all over the world. Chagall had created etchings of Russian life during the 1920s but would explore printmaking later more deeply, during the 1950s, when he sought guidance from veteran lithographer Charles Sorlier, who became a friend and collaborator.
