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.

1963-64 The Paris Opera House
The nearly 2,600-square-foot
canvas, which required a staggering 440 pounds of paint, was not initially well received however. When French Minister of Culture André Malraux announced
the commission for the project in 1960, many were outraged by the prospect of a
modernist painter - and a foreign-born one at that - taking his brush to the
ceilings of Charles Garnier’s neo-Baroque masterpiece. But Chagall’s passion
for the project won out.
Completed over the course of
eight months in various Paris studios, the canvas commemorated contemporary and
historic composers, actors, and dancers, evoking the transformative power and
beauty of art through the rich colour and composition for which Chagall was
known. The work quickly won over many early doubters and became a benchmark for
integrating modernism into France’s historic landmarks: A year later André
Masson would be commissioned to create a new ceiling for the Théâtre de
l’Odéon. Chagall’s ceiling is now one of the Opéra’s most popular attractions.
