From Mike Venezia:  Marc Chagall: Marc Chagall was born in the Russian city of Vitebsk in 1887. He used memories of his childhood and images from his dreams to come up with a magical, beautiful, and sometimes very mysterious kind of art. His painting styles are Expressionism and Cubism.

The ?Getting to Know the World?s Greatest Artists? series features numerous reproductions (10-20 in each book), photos of the artist, silly cartoons, and simple text. Venezia?s approach ? highlighting interesting parts of the artists? lives and work while keeping the subject matter simple and appropriate for young children ? makes these excellent read-alouds. Older children will enjoy reading the early chapter book-level text themselves.
