In the paintings of Marc Chagall, anything is possible. You might see a goat that floats, a green man greeting a see through cow, a village that glows like an emerald, or any number of strange and beautiful sights. Born to a humble Jewish family in a Russian province - he painted what he felt in his heart, and became one of the most celebrated artists of the twentieth century. You can read about his life in my book.
