Marc Chagall's use of flying figures, religious imagery, and intense color symbolize his prolific output of art. 60 color and 25 black & white images detail the work and life of Chagall. Each artwork is accompanied by a caption explaining the imagery and placing it in context with the rest of his work.

One of a series of monographs introducing the work of 20th-century artists, this text is devoted to Marc Chagall. Chagall developed a romantic and personal naive style based on themes from Eastern European Jewish life and Russian and Jewish folklore. He was strongly influenced by the brilliant colours of Fauvism and by the new sense of space of Cubism.
