In 1930 he was commissioned by Vollard, a Paris
art dealer, to produce a series of illustrations
based upon Bible stories. Chagall travelled to
Palestine in search of inspiration, but the project
and was not eventually completed until the early
1950s.
Currently on show at New York's Jewish Museum is a show dedicated to the time during WWII & how it influenced his art.
