ABSTRACT

France Area of Achievement: Art Contribution: Chagall was a master of several ar-

tistic media, including stained glass, printmaking, mosaic, stage design, mural, ceramic, and tapestry, but he is best known for his paintings that depict the fantastical states of dreams and memories. The distinctive Chagallian appearance of an artistic work portrays a world of vibrantly colored figures in incongruous juxtaposition and magical abrogation of natural law, the kind of vision that many people experience in their sleep.
