| At his finest Marc Chagall must rank as one of
the foremost artists of the twentieth century and certainly one of the leading
lights of the School of Paris. Russian born, in 1887, Chagall moved to Paris
in 1923 meeting the great print publisher Ambroise Vollard who at once recognised
the artist's genius and commissioned him to make two great suites of etchings
Gogol's Dead Souls and the Fables of La Fontaine.
Chagall continued to make original prints throughout his life, his work dominated
by memories of Jewish life and the folklore of his early years in Russia.
