Marc Chagall was a Litvak-French artist. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints. Marc Chagall (1887-1985), known for his unique work that reflects his profound Jewish background, signed this book page that depicts him working on sketches that would become his personal paneled screen in his Paris Studio (circa 1966). Chagall worked in brilliant colors and traditionally used ethereal figures floating above buildings and foreground subjects. He produced many such mural collages in theater sets and even on the ceiling of the Paris Opera, which he completed in 1964. The Paris Opera ceiling is a masterpiece of modern art, yet it blends magnificently with the ornate, gilded structure created by Charles Garnier. Chagall enjoyed the theater and worked on set designs, costumes and curtains for The Magic Flute at the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1966. Other theater productions in which Chagall was involved included Firebird (1945) and Daphnis and Chloe (1958).
