Marc Chagall: Art as Prayer Chagall lived from 1897 to 1985 and his spirit lives on in his art. His 98 years reflect much of Jewish life in the 20th century. He is the most recognizably Jewish artist of his time and yet could not be confined by any definition. We will explore his work in theatre, costume design, painting, tapestry, stained glass, and more. |
