Marc Chagall (born Moishe Shagal) grew up in a poor Hasidic Jewish family in a small provincial town. He studied art in Saint Petersburg before moving to Paris in 1911. In Paris, he absorbed avant-garde styles like Cubism and Fauvism, blending them with Russian folklore and warm memories of his childhood village. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
