In the first of three virtual art lectures we will learn about Marc Chagall, a Russian-French artist who worked in a variety of media but is most renowned for his paintings. During his time, he was the foremost Jewish artist in the world and has since been referred to as “the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century.”

Chagall is best known for his vibrant use of color to attract the viewer’s attention, his lively and imaginative artworks often combine Cubism and Fauvism with his folkish style. This lecture will cover his most iconic works and explore how the places he lived, his personal background, and the events of his time impacted his art.
