Marc Chagall (July 7, 1887 March 28, 1985) was a Jewish Belarussian-born French painter. Among the celebrated painters of the 20th century, he is often associated with the Surrealist movement..

"When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it -- a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand -- as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it is bad art."
