Marc Chagall Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

French, 1887-1985

Described by art critic Robert Hughes as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century," the Russian-French modernist Marc Chagall worked in nearly every artistic medium. Influenced by Symbolism, Fauvism, Cubism and Surrealism, he developed his own distinctive style, combining avant-garde techniques and motifs with elements drawn from Eastern European Jewish folk art.

Born Moishe Segal in 1887, in Belarus (then part of the Russian empire), Chagall is often celebrated for his figurative paintings, but he also produced stained-glass windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, in France; for the United Nations, in New York; and for the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, as well as book illustrations, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine-art prints. Characterized by a bold color palette and whimsical imagery, his works are often narrative, depicting small-village scenes and quotidian moments of peasant life, as in his late painting The Flight into Egypt from 1980.

Before World War I, Chagall traveled between St. Petersburg, Paris and Berlin. When the conflict broke out, he returned to Soviet-occupied Belarus, where he founded the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1922. He fled to the United States during World War II but in 1947 returned to France, where he spent the rest of his life. His peripatetic career left its mark on his style, which was distinctly international, incorporating elements from each of the cultures he experienced.

Marc Chagall remains one of the past century’s most respected talents — find his art on 1stDibs.

Le repos by Marc Chagall
By Marc Chagall
Located in New Orleans, LA
Marc Chagall 1887-1985 Russian Le repos (Rest) Signed “Marc Chagall“ (lower right) Gouache, watercolor and pastel on paper Master Marc Chagall composed this contemplative and dreamlike painting entitled Le repos, which hails from the later years of his important oeuvre. Throughout his long career, Chagall infused his works with powerful imagery and symbolism, exploring themes of love, camaraderie and happiness in his celebrated vibrant palette. No other 20th-century artist possessed Chagall’s gift for compositional harmony, and his canvases capture intimate, otherworldly visions of his own imaginative aesthetic world. In Le repos, Chagall presents a celebration of the titular activity: rest. Appearing as a flowering tree at first glance, Chagall places a large vase of purple, yellow and red blooms centrally on the canvas — a favorite motif of Chagall. As artist Andre Verdet once recalled, “Marc Chagall loved...

    Yes, Marc Chagall worked in the Expressionist style, but he is associated with a range of modes and was inspired by various styles.

    Chagall's lithographs as well as his other prints and paintings widely influenced the fantastic imagery of Surrealism and other movements of the 20th century. Known for his dreamlike creations inspired by folk art, Chagall drew on the colors and forms introduced by Cubism and Fauvism for a distinctive style all his own.

    Expressionist artists experimented in paintings and prints with skewed perspectives, abstraction and unconventional, bright colors to portray how isolating and anxious the world felt rather than how it appeared. You can certainly detect the trademark bright colors and dramatic, exaggerated brushstrokes of Expressionism reflected in Chagall’s works such as his Vision of Paris and I and the Village.
