The Life and Work of Marc Chagall

UCF Celebrates the Arts

Learn about the life and work of artist Marc Chagall, who revisited the theme of the “fiddler on the roof” throughout his career.

Before you come see Theatre UCF’s Fiddler on the Roof and the School of Visual Arts and Design’s Chagall-inspired 3D sculptures, join art historian Dr. Keri Watson and theatre professor Dr. Julia Listengarten to learn about one of the most influential and popular modern artists: Marc Chagall.

The Bellorussian-born French artist’s work was inspired by Russian folktales, Jewish stories, and the modernism art movement, but Chagall didn’t fit into any one specific style. He created a dream-like reality with bright colors, exaggerated proportions, and overlapping images. Hear more about the life and work of Marc Chagall who revisited the theme of the “fiddler on the roof” many times throughout his long career.
