Today we celebrate the birthday of Marc Chagall, born on July 7, 1887, Vitebsk (now Viciebsk) in Belarus. A Russian-born Jew whose deep faith displayed itself repeatedly throughout his body of work. His dreamy, vividly-colored, often playful pieces caused him to be associated with the Surrealists (a charge he vigorously denied). Besides painting, Chagalls huge output included book illustration, set and costume design, murals, lithography and a number of truly amazing stained glass windows.
