This fall, the Jewish Museum presents a rare opportunity to explore a little-known chapter in the Russian avant-garde. Opening on September 14, Chagall, Lissitzky, Malevich: The Russian Avant-Garde in Vitebsk, 1918-1922features some 120 works of three iconic figures—Marc Chagall, El Lissitzky and Kazimir Malevich—as well as works by students and teachers of the Vitebsk school—100 years after the Russian Revolution of 1917.

“If I were not a Jew…I wouldn’t have been an artist. I would be a different artist all together.”—Marc Chagall, 1922
