Marc Chagall (1887-1985) : Russian painter. Again, hard to categorize. Technically a cubist, but the cubism in his paintings was not the interesting part; the color was. He painted scenes (usually scenes from Russian village life) with vivid, Crayola-like colors, often painting objects with the color he felt they should be. Happy green and purple peasants, blue horses, his colors do not match up with the moods they are supposed to represent, but they look right.
