Marc Chagall?

Question

What time period/ style did Marc Chagall work in? (modern, gothic, abstract, etc...) Did he only work in this style?

Answer 1

My understanding is that Chagall's work is considered Russian folk art because of the predominant themes of village life, etc, although it also fits into the surreal category as influenced by Russian expressionism and French Cubism. He's a 20th century painter. Born in Russia in 1887, moved to France around 1910 and back and forth between the two until his death in France in 1985. Love Chagall!

Answer 2

"Chagall's works fit into several modern art categories. He took part in the movements of the Paris art world which preceded World War I and was thus involved with avant-garde currents. However, his work always found itself on the margins of these movements and emerging trends, including Cubism and Fauvism. He was closely associated with the Paris School and its exponents, including Amedeo Modigliani."

I adore Chagall's work and one of my favorite museums in the world is Maeght Foundation in St. Paul de Vence on the French Riviera. The light and colors in this part of the world inspire such art!
