At Tate Liverpool exhibition "Marc Chagall: the master of modernism." At the largest in the last 15 years of British exhibition Chagall collected about 60 paintings and works on paper. The exhibits are mainly carried out in the 1910s, that is, in the period covering the pre-war years, when the artist was living in Paris, visited Berlin, where in 1914 he had a show, and a few years spent Chagall in Russia during the war and the revolution. The remaining 65 years of his career are only a few papers.

From the earliest work drew the attention of the painting "The Birth" from the collection of the Kunsthaus in Zurich, written in 1910 in St. Petersburg shortly before Chagall's departure to Paris. Paris until 1914 represented the famous works of "Yellow Room", "Russia, Asses and Others" and "I and the Village." The artist again and again reinvents his memories of life at home, using innovative techniques of Cubism and Fauvism movements.

brief trip to his homeland in 1914, lasted for several years. The exhibition Tate Liverpool to this period is one of the most famous paintings of Chagall "Walk" (1917-1918) and a panel made Chagall for the Moscow Jewish Chamber Theater in 1920.
