The exhibition presents the main themes of his work, in particular his connection with Jewish culture, the iconography of the Jewish village, folk traditions, but also his discovery of 17th century literature such as La Fontaine, the revelation of light and the particular use of colour. 

Special attention is given to his Russian period at a time his personal style stands out in an avant-garde art scene featured by the cubist revolution.

The original poetic language of Chagall is faithfully revived and the visitors are immersed in his amazing artistic world influenced by different cultures and traditions.
