Editing Marc Chagall (section)

===Ceramics and sculpture===
Chagall began learning about ceramics and sculpture while living in south France. Ceramics became a fashion in the [[Côte d'Azur]] with various workshops starting up at Antibes, Vence and Vallauris. He took classes along with other known artists including [[Picasso]] and [[Fernand Léger]]. At first Chagall painted existing pieces of pottery but soon expanded into designing his own, which began his work as a sculptor as a complement to his painting.

After experimenting with pottery and dishes he moved into large ceramic murals. However, he was never satisfied with the limits imposed by the square tile segments which Cogniat notes "imposed on him a discipline which prevented the creation of a plastic image."<ref name=Cogniat/>{{rp|76}}
