decelerate, accelerate, avant-garde, welcome to play a part. autobiographical fantasies the status of epic.

 In 1908 Chagall moved to the Zvantseva School, then co-directed by Leon Bakst, soon to be famous the world over for his designs for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, and by Mstislav Dobuzhinsky, a stage designer and book illustrator of high quality. It was above all through Dobuzhinsky that Chagall came to know the avant-garde Russian theater of the day, in which poets and painters were welcome to play a part.


Chagall in Paris had an almost instantaneous success. Mating his exotic and deeply felt subject matter with the new modes of pictorial structure that he learned in Paris (above all from Robert Delaunay), he gave his autobiographical fantasies the status of epic.
