Marc Chagall
Marc Chagall, 1969.
While living at La Ruche in Paris, Marc Chagall encountered a vibrant community of avant-garde poets and painters who significantly influenced his artistic development.1
The poets he met included:
* Blaise Cendrars1
* Max Jacob1
* Guillaume Apollinaire1
The painters he encountered included:
* Chaim Soutine (Expressionist)1
* Robert Delaunay (abstract colourist)1
* Albert Gleizes1
* Jean Metzinger1
* Fernand Léger1
* André Lhote1
This environment encouraged Chagall to embrace "pictorial audacity," helping him transition from the sombre palette of his early work in Russia toward the more poetic and irrational style for which he became famous.1
