Throughout his long life, the role of outsider and artistic eccentric came naturally to him. Chagall seemed a kind of intermediary between worlds: whether as a Jew with a lordly disdain for the ancient ban on image-making, or as a Russian who went beyond the realm of familiar self-sufficiency, or as the son of poor parents, growing up in a large and needy family, yet going on to establish himself in the sophisticated world of elegant. His life and art together added up to this image of a lonesome visionary, a citizen of the world with much of the child still in him, a stranger lost in wonder - an image which the artist did everything to cultivate.

He composed his images based on emotional and poetic associations, rather than on rules of pictorial logic. Predating Surrealism, his early works, such as (1911), were among the first expressions of psychic reality in modern art. Chagall prepared 100 gouaches for reproduction, but it soon became evident that his colours were too complex for the printing process envisaged.
