Marc Chagall in Paris (1910-1914)

In 1910, Chagall relocated to Paris

to develop his artistic style. Chagall arrived from Russia with "a ripe color gift, a fresh, unashamed response to sentiment, a feeling for simple poetry and a sense of humor". These notions were alien to Paris at that time, and as a result, his first recognition came not from other painters but from poets such as Blaise Cendrars and Guillaume Apollinaire.

Friends in Paris

He therefore developed friendships with Guillaume Apollinaire and other

avant-garde artists including Robert Delaunay and Fernand Léger. His first days were a hardship for the 23-year-old Chagall, who was lonely in the big city and unable to speak French. Some days he "felt like fleeing back to Russia, as he daydreamed while he painted, about his family, and especially Bella".

school of art and also found work at another academy. He would spend his free hours visiting galleries and salons, especially the Louvre; artists he came to admire included Rembrandt, Chardin, van Gogh, Pissarro, Matisse and others.

During his time in Paris, Chagall was constantly reminded of his

home in Vitebsk. "Night after night he painted until dawn", only then going to bed for a few hours, and resisted the many temptations of the big city at night. "My homeland exists only in my soul", he once said.  He continued painting Jewish motifs and subjects from his memories of Vitebsk, although he included Parisian scenes—- the Eiffel Tower in particular, along with portraits. Many of his works were updated versions of paintings transposed into Fauvist or Cubist keys.

1923-1941 - a new stage in the work of Chagall In 1923,

the artist and his family moved to Paris, where in 1937 he received French citizenship. During this period, his work becomes more calm, charming. The artist takes a break from the intensity of passions left in his homeland. During this period, a large number of canvases appear, on which images of circus actors are present. As before, people in Chagall's paintings soar in the air, but the emotional intensity is somewhat smoothed out. "Three Acrobats" (1926), "Acrobat" (1930), "Rider" (1931).

Undoubtedly, the Parisian atmosphere, the atmosphere of a city where art

is valued, has a beneficial effect on the artist. In addition, he loves and is loved. Chagall writes pictures such as: Lovers and the Eiffel Tower (1928), A Midsummer Night's Dream (1939), Newlyweds on the Eiffel Tower (1939).

Return to France (1947 - 1985)
After the war, the artist returned

to France. During this period, the master increasingly turns to biblical characters, but at the same time does not abandon his traditional plots of love for a woman, love for the Motherland.
The artist's manner is changing. If we compare his early works and recent works, it can be seen that the saturation of the colors has become softer, the drawing of individual nuances is thinner, the coloring of the paintings becomes less contrasting.
During this period, such works were written as
"Moses accepts the tablets with the commandments" (1950 - 1952), "Jacob's Dream" (1954 - 1967), "God and Eve" (1960), "The Artist over Vitebsk" (1982).
In the post-war years, along with paintings, Marc Chagall paid great attention to the creation of stained glass windows and mosaics.
