Chagall's 'Blue Violinist' View Poster
Spotlight: Painter and designer Marc Chagall was born on this date in 1887. Considered one of the forerunners of surrealism, Chagall is appreciated for the use of color and symbolism in his art. His pieces hang in the UN headquarters, New York's new Metropolitan Opera House, Israel's Knesset and France's Palais Garnier. Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem houses a set of Chagall's 12 stained glass windows, representing the 12 tribes of Israel; his stained glass windows also grace a church in the English town of Tudeley. There is only one Chagall mosaic hanging in a private home; made by the artist as a house gift for good friends, it fills a wall in the garden of their Georgetown home.

Quote: "Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life." Marc Chagall
