Good starter

This is a great introductory book for children learning about art. The pictures are large and the analysis of the paintings are not too in-depth for children. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a primer in Chagall's art.

Good source of color reproductions of Chagall's work

This children's book has a nice selection of works by Marc Chagall. The reproductions are large and in color. The accompanying text is lively and creative, providing poetic, artistic and biographical commentary. Children of all ages and adults with interest in art and art by Marc Chagall in particular should enjoy this book. I found it odd that nowhere in the brief biographical data was there any mention of Chagall's Jewish roots.
