Chagalls

Chagalls is the plural form of the surname Chagall, used to refer to people who bear the name. The most prominent bearer is Marc Chagall (1887–1985), a Belarusian-born painter who became a leading figure of 20th-century modernism after settling in France. His work blends dreamlike imagery with biblical themes, folklore, and a painterly, luminous color palette. He produced paintings, stained glass, mosaics, and tapestries and was associated with the School of Paris.

The name is also linked to Bella Rosenfeld Chagall (1895–1944), Marc Chagall’s wife and muse, who played a significant role in his life and career and is sometimes identified in biographical references as Bella Chagall. Through their long association, the Chagalls became symbols of a modernist dialogue between tradition and innovation.

In usage, the plural Chagalls is uncommon in art literature, where the artist is typically referred to by the singular form Chagall. The surname itself is of Eastern European Jewish origin, most closely associated with families from the region around present-day Belarus where Marc Chagall was born.
