Marc Chagall, Russian and French, 1887 to 1985, a color lithograph print The Face of Israel, from the series Le Bible II, released in Verve Vol. 1, No. 37-38. Printed in Mourlot Freres, Paris; published by Revue, Verve, Paris. Note: Marc Chagall's dreamlike compositions depict aspects of the artists personal and family histories, and those of Eastern European folklore at large. Flying figures, elements of Jewish tradition, peasant life, and animals are frequent motifs. Chagalls practice - which spanned painting, printmaking, books, ceramics, and stained glass - was immensely influential in the development of 20th century art. His supernatural subjects and emotional gestures bridged the work of earlier avant garde movements such as cubism, fauvism, and symbolism with later modernist styles such as surrealism.
