Marc Chagall is one of the 20th century's most intriguing painters. He was born a Russian Jew and his career spanned and was affected by two world wars, the Russian Revolution, the Holocaust and the birth of the state of Israel.

Wilson's new book is called Marc Chagall, and it's part of the Jewish Encounters series.
