There are several paintings painted by the great artist Marc Chagall in Nations Art Museum located at the basement of White Palace.
In most of the works by him, there is an image of his wife and symbols like the cow (as the best shape of life), tree (the symbol of Life), an alarm clock (as a symbol of time and a modest life), the window (the symbol of desire of freedom), and a violin player, who is someone present in all important moments of life (birth, marriage & death) and is the messenger of joy and sorrow are observable.
Marc Zaharovich Chagall (1887 –1985) was a Russian-French artist associated with several major artistic styles and one of the most successful artists of the 20th century. He was an early modernist, and created works in virtually every artistic medium, including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints.
Before World War I, he traveled between St. Petersburg, Paris, and Berlin. During this period he created his own mixture and style of modern. He spent the wartime years in Soviet Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avante-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1922.
He experienced modernism's "golden age" in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism". Yet throughout these phases of his style "he remained most emphatically an artist, whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk. When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is".
