MARC CHAGALL was born in 1887 in the Belorussian city of Vitsyebsk a major lively city as well as a center of Jewish culture. He spent a brief period studying at the School of Fine Arts where he was introduced to Leon Bakst the designer for the Russian Ballet who would become Chagall's teacher. In 1910 a patron sponsored Chagall's move to Paris; and in 1911 he moved to a studio in "La Ruche" (The Beehive). Before Paris his style was rooted in realism but his new works reflected an interest in Fauvism and Cubism. Chagall lived in Paris until 1914 at which time he returned to Vitsyebsk. His painting style changed even more during these years and he tempered his avant-garde work with more personal work. In 1941 with the outbreak of World War II and Nazi persecution Chagall was forced into exile in the United States. He painted the ceiling of the Paris Opera in 1964 and also executed murals for the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Marc Chagall died in 1985.
