Why did Marc Chagall move to Paris in 1910?

Marc Chagall moved to Paris in 1910 with the assistance of a living allowance provided by a patron from St. Petersburg.1

Once in Paris, he became immersed in the city's vibrant artistic community, residing in a studio at the bohemian settlement known as La Ruche ("the Beehive"). This environment exposed him to avant-garde poets and painters, which encouraged his development of poetic and irrational artistic tendencies. Furthermore, his time in Paris allowed him to study works in museums and galleries, leading him to move away from the somber color palette he had previously used in Russia under the influence of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Fauvist styles.12
