Marc Chagall (1887-1985), over the course of a life marked by two wars and an exile, created a body of work powerfully anchored in the history of the 20th century . An emblematic figure of displacement and migration, the artist traveled the world through the torments of the century, from the Russian Empire to France, from Germany to Palestine, from the United States to Mexico and, finally, to the Mediterranean. His art, imbued with a profound humanism and a strong political conscience nourished by his Jewish roots and by the plurality of cultures he discovered, became the messenger of an unwavering commitment to humanity and its rights, to equality and tolerance between beings. Carried by a great cry of freedom, he confronted the eye with wars and artistic struggles, transcended by poetic force and imagination, the power of derision and humor. Pencil and brush thus become weapons of peace, revealing the unconditional idealism of the “painter witness to his time”, his unshakeable faith in harmony and universal peace between men.
