Picasso said in the 1950s 'When Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is.' He was influenced by the ideas of Cubism, Symbolism and Fauvism, and was both a Russian and French artist. He was nearly a hundred when he died in 1985, and had lived through one revolution and two world wars. His work reflects his experiences, his travels, and his homeland.
