Marc Chagall was a Russian-French artist known for his surrealist and cubist style that incorporated dreamlike imagery and childhood memories. Some of his most famous works featured his wife Bella or depicted scenes from the Bible. Born in Russia in 1887, Chagall later studied art in Paris and fled to the US during WWII, though he created the Chagall Museum in Nice, France to house many of his biblical-themed paintings. Chagall worked as an artist his entire life, finding symbols like flying fish to represent his father's work in his paintings until his death in 1985 at age 98.
