Answer:
When were you born?
July 7, 1887
Where were you born?
Loizna, Belarus
What is your background?
I am a Litvak-French artist. An early modernist, I am associated with several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints.
What specific life experiences have helped you develop as the famous artist you are today?
Through my friend Cendrars I met the Paris art dealer and publisher Ambroise Vollard, who in 1923 commissioned me to create a series of etchings to illustrate a special edition of Nikolay Gogol's novel Dead Souls, and thus launched me on a long career as a printmaker.
What art movements, artists, or artworks of other artists have impacted you as an artist?
I worked in many radical modernist styles at various points throughout my career, including Cubism, Suprematism and Surrealism, all of which encouraged me to work in an entirely abstract style.
How are your personality, likes, dislikes, and beliefs reflected in your work?
Predating Surrealism, my early works, such as I and the Village (1911), were among the first expressions of psychic reality in modern art. My works in various media include sets for plays and ballets, etchings illustrating the Bible, and stained-glass windows.
What are you trying to communicate through your art?
Jewish culture.
Why did you choose the type of art you are famous for?
I presented dreamlike subject matter in rich colours and in a fluent, painterly style that—while reflecting an awareness of artistic movements such as Expressionism, Cubism, and even abstraction—remained invariably personal.
What creative process do you follow from idea to finished piece?
I employ many techniques characterized by Cubism, Fauvism, Symbolism, and Surrealism—skewed dimension, non-representational color, transfiguration, and dreamlike imagery, respectively—yet I am abided by a unique expression that eludes common classification.
What do you feel is the role of the artist in society?
To express their worldview and ideas.
What artwork(s) of yours has preserved some aspect of history or culture?
My Jewish identity was important to me throughout my life, and much of my work can be described as an attempt to reconcile old Jewish traditions with styles of modernist art. However, I also occasionally drew on Christian themes, which appealed to my taste for narrative and allegory.
What specific piece of advice would you give teens who are interested in pursuing a career in art?
Don't be afraid to be different i order to express yourself.
