Marc Chagall was a Franco-Russian painter whose poetic world blended Jewish folklore, spirituality and modernity. His vivid canvases spanned Cubism, Symbolism and Surrealism while retaining a unique style. Masterpieces such as "Over the Town" and "The Lovers in Blue" use luminous colour and dreamlike composition to express love and memory.
