How big is Marc Chagall’s body of work?
1 Answer
Marc Chagall’s body of work is quite big. Over the course of his 75-year career, Chagall created approximately 10,000 pieces, including prints, paintings, book illustrations, stained glass windows and more.
The Russian-French modernist worked in nearly every artistic medium, and Chagall’s vibrant and densely colorful prints are known around the world. Characterized by a bold color palette and whimsical imagery, his works are often narrative, depicting small-village scenes and quotidian moments of peasant life, as in his late painting The Flight into Egypt from 1980.

“The fact that I made use of cows, milkmaids, roosters and provincial Russian architecture as my source forms is because they are part of the environment from which I spring and which undoubtedly left the deepest impression on my visual memory of the experiences I have." - Marc Chagall
