Chagall in Rusland

Joann Sfar’s Chagall in Rusland is a single-issue graphic biography from Ballon Media (2011–present) that explores the early life of the painter Marc Chagall, focusing on his formative years in Russia. Sfar, the series’ primary artist, brings his signature expressive, ink-washed style to this intimate portrait of an artist before fame. Though brief, the book matters as a personal, poetic take on Chagall’s origins, blending historical context with Sfar’s own imaginative flair.
