1914, Marc Chagall, The Lovers -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: In 1910, Chagall moved to Paris, where he joined a lively circle of artists and poets and began showing his work. He developed a unique style that blended his interest in Cubism and Fauvism with a nostalgia for Vitebsk, his home in present-day Belarus. The poet Guillaume Apollinaire called his canvases "supernatural." The Lovers represents the artist with his fiancée, Bella Rosenfeld, who awaited Chagall's return to Vitebsk.
