        <h1>Marc Chagall (Марк Захарович Шагал) (1887-1985)</h1>
      </div>

  <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Marc Chagall was a Russian-born French painter. Born on July 7, 1887, he came from humble, Jewish beginnings. At a young age, his mother encouraged him to pursue his interest in art. She enrolled him in a St. Petersburg art school. In 1910, he moved to Paris where he was exposed to Fauvism, which often dealt with traditional landscapes painted in an untraditional way. He also experimented a bit with Cubism. In 1912, Chagall held his first solo exhibition.</p>
	  <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Chagall visited Russia two years later. The outbreak of war kept him from returning to Paris. He settled in Vitebsk and was appointed Commissioner for Art in 1918. He then founded the Vitebsk Popular Art School. He oversaw the school until disagreements with the Supremists prompted him to resign two years later.</p>

	    <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">I and the Village, 1911</div></p>
	  <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/chagall/Chagall_TheBirthday.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto" border="0" /> 
	    <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Birthday, 1915</div></p>
	  <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1923, Chagall truly found himself artistically while in Paris. Some of the movements of the time came as a shock to him. Although he sometimes experimented with them briefly, he eventually discarded them, opting for his own style, a style that was imaginative and almost magical, incorporating bold color schemes.</p>
	  <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Chagall was commissioned to produce black and white etchings and lithography. Although he was new to the medium, his talent is evident in the tentative creations. His only frustration was the lack of color that he felt creatively inhibited him.</p>
	  <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Chagall had been commissioned to do many of these etchings style projects, and although he wholeheartedly devoted himself to producing excellent work, he felt that the lack of color was a hindrance on his creative ability. When he fled to America, he created color prints. Thirteen lithographs were published in 1948, a brilliant achievement for someone so new to the medium.</p>
	  <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">As his career evolved, Chagall found his niche in lithography. Many of his lithographs are still sold today. They often have similar features. Although bold in color and abstract, they are quite different from a Picasso creation. Henri Deschamps who printed some of Chagall's lithographs said that he didn't think it was possible for Chagall to paint like Picasso because being Jewish, he saw things in a different light because of his origin.</p>
	  <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Chagall's paintings are much softer and never harsh like many of Picasso's. There is an underlying lyrical quality to the lithographs.</p>
	  <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Chagall found color lithography to be the ideal medium for his art. Color is splashed through his work with waves of intensity. From subtle bursts of color to solid, dark splashes, the lithographs are eye-catching and vivid. As Chagall embraced his medium of choice, he created over 1,000 color and black and white lithographs.</p>
	  <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">When looking back on his body of work, each piece has something in common. These magical creations are rich in color and defy the conventions of our everyday world.</p>

	    <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Violinist Blue</div></p>
	  <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Marc Chagall will always be known as one of the most popular artists of his century. He challenged the themes of science and reason by luring his viewers in through brilliant color and abstract representations of his subject matter. The fact that Chagall hated being labeled as falling under one particular art movement is evident in his art, which seems to have a genre of its own.</p>
