   Hi,
   In 1923, Chagall truly found himself artistically while in Paris. Some of the movements of the time came as a shock to him. Although he sometimes experimented with them briefly, he eventually discarded them, opting for his own style, a style that was imaginative and almost magical, incorporating bold color schemes.
   
   Chagall was commissioned to produce black and white etchings and lithography. Although he was new to the medium, his talent is evident in the tentative creations. His only frustration was the lack of color that he felt creatively inhibited him.
   
   Chagall had been commissioned to do many of these etchings style projects, and although he wholeheartedly devoted himself to producing excellent work, he felt that the lack of color was a hindrance on his creative ability. When he fled to America, he created color prints. Thirteen lithographs were published in 1948, a brilliant achievement for someone so new to the medium.
   
   As his career evolved, Chagall found his niche in lithography. Many of his lithographs are still sold today. They often have similar features. Although bold in color and abstract, they are quite different from a Picasso creation. Henri Deschamps who printed some of Chagall’s lithographs said that he didn’t think it was possible for Chagall to paint like Picasso because being Jewish, he saw things in a different light because of his origin.
   
   Chagall’s paintings are much softer and never harsh like many of Picasso's. There is an underlying lyrical quality to the lithographs.
   
   Chagall found color lithography to be the ideal medium for his art. Color is splashed through his work with waves of intensity. From subtle bursts of color to solid, dark splashes, the lithographs are eye-catching and vivid. As Chagall embraced his medium of choice, he created over 1,000 color and black and white lithographs.
   
   When looking back on his body of work, each piece has something in common. These magical creations are rich in color and defy the conventions of our everyday world.
