Marc Chagall, while primarily famous for his magnificent paintings and stained glass work, was also an esteemed poster artist. He studied painting in St Petersburg, Russia but in 1910, he left for Paris to become part of the growing art community in the Montparnasse district. He developed strong ties to the avant-garde artist, Leger, Delauncy, and Apollinaire. In 1937, he became a French citizen.
However, as a Jew, Chagall recognized that if he remained in France during WWII, he would face deportment. He fled France with his wife, escaping through Spain and Portugal, settling in the United States in 1941.
Following the end of the War and the death of his wife, Chagall became depressed and despondent. He returned to France, fell in love and his creativity was restored. His work from this period reflects the joy he was experiencing in love, life, and freedom. Chagall worked with free and vibrant colors and developed his characteristic curved floating figures. He produced many travel posters which employed this unique style.
