Chagall
painted with a variety of media, such as oils,
water colors, and gouaches. His work also expanded
to other forms of art, including ceramics, mosaics,
and stained glass. Among his most famous building
decorations are the ceiling of the Opera House
in Paris, murals at the New York Metropolitan
Opera, a glass window at the United Nations,
and decorations at the Vatican.
Israel, which Chagall first visited in 1931
for the opening of the Tel Aviv Art Museum,
is likewise endowed with some of Chagall's work,
most notably the twelve stained glass windows
at Hadassah Hospital and wall decorations at
the Knesset. Chagall received many prizes and
much recognition for his work. He was also one
of very few artists to exhibit work at the Louvre
in their lifetime.
