designation
(2981) Chagall was named after the French painter Marc Chagall (1887–1985), who was born in the Russian Empire and was of Jewish origin. His dreamlike and often bizarre depictions of people and animals made him a popular and innovative artist of the 20th century. His paintings reflect his strong religious background and an inner, almost childlike, joy and love for life and the world. His main works include hundreds of paintings and book illustrations as well as stage and costume designs for theater and ballet.
