Marc Zakharovich Chagall (born Moishe Zakharovich Shagalov 1887 - 1985) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in virtually every artistic format, including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints.
For more biographical information see part 1, and for earlier works see parts 1 - 5 also.

1923-27 Les Âmes mortes (Dead Souls):
These scenes of life in Russia were still fresh in Chagall's mind in
1923, when he began the etchings for Nikolai Gogol's novel “Les Âmes mortes,” the classic Russian
text that was to be his first book collaboration with the renowned publisher
Ambroise Vollard. A notorious perfectionist, Vollard left twenty-five
unfinished projects at the time of his death in 1939, including “Les Âmes mortes.” The volume was
later completed in 1948 by Tériade, another of the great twentieth-century
publishers of illustrated books.
