I was looking at Marc Chagall Paintings on this site: http://www.overstockart.com/marcchagall.html and I was wondering how would you define the fantasy oil paintings of Marc Chagall. what genera does it belong to?

Chagall's work is steeped in nostalgia! To know this basic truth is to know Chagall. He was ousted from his boyhood home in a Russian village and forced to live in France. He never forgot the village and his whimsical, nostalgic images refer to that village, the love of his life, and often his Jewish spirituality. I think of Chagall as the Mozart of oil painting. Fits!

Well i'm not art scholar but i did take a look at the paintings and they seem to be very spiritual and surreal and most of them use very warm colors. If you want to find out more about him and why he paints that way and a more professional assessment LOL...you can check out the following
