Serien "Kunstnerliv" er en biografiserie som tar for seg noen av de største navnene i kunsthistorien. Bøkene behandler både liv og verk, med særlig vekt på den kunstneriske utviklingen og hvilken betydning den aktuelle kunstneren har hatt for både samtiden og ettertiden. Denne boka handler om Marc Chagall som var maler, billedhugger, keramiker, grafiker, scenograf og formgiver. Han var en av de mest produktive kunstnere i Paris på begynnelsen av 1900-tallet. Dette var en periode med radikale endringer i kunsten som surrealisme, fauvisme, kubisme og ekspresjonisme. Chagall lot seg inspirere av disse nye retningene, men utviklet likevel et svært personlig uttrykk. Han malte naivistiske, drømmeaktige motiver og var en av de mest nyskapende kunstnerne i samtiden. Hans særegne figurer og intense fargebruk ble en kilde til inspirasjon for generasjoner av kunstnere.
