Marc Chagall: (Russian 1887-1985) Attributed: Untitled (Dream). Mixed media on paper. Signed lower right. Inscription in Russian verso. Unframed.

Marc Chagall was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in virtually every artistic format including painting book illustrations stained glass stage sets ceramic tapestries and fine art prints.

He had two basic reputations: as a pioneer of modernism and as a major Jewish artist. He experienced modernism's golden age in Paris where he synthesized the art forms of Cubism Symbolism and Fauvism and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism. Yet throughout these phases of his style he remained most emphatically a Jewish artist whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk. When Matisse dies Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what color really is
