The largest of the murals, Introduction to the Jewish. Theater, suggests a Jewish Purim carnival atmosphere with actors, acrobats and characters from the stories of Sholem Aleichem. The.dense tap- estry, of three scenes com- bines figures of specific individuals connected with the new theater, including one of Chagall, with a group of klezmer players, and another of acrobats standing on their heads. On the opposite wall, four resplendent vertical panels symbolize the four arts: music, theater, dance and literature. Music reuses a dominant Chagall theme, the violinist, a Marc Chagall, 1908.

The birth of the daughter, Ida, in the spring of 1916, becomes the focus of numerous intimate domestic family portraits, including The Infant's Bath (1916) and The Wedding (1918), in which a hovering angel foretells the birth of their daughter, two years earlier. Following the 1917 Revolution, Chagall was made commissar of art for Vitebsk, where he opened a major art school. But conflicts with important avant-garde artists Kasimir Malevich and ECLissitzky led to a huge power struggle forcing Chagall to resign. The family moved to Moscow in 1 9 - 20, where Chagall created his famous murals for the newly established State Jewish Chamber Theater. These splendid murals occupy four walls of a gallery that approximates the size of the original theater, immersing "Moritz Daniel Oppenheim: Jewish Identity in 19th Century Art" is at Yeshiva University Museum, 15 West 60th Street, New York City, in the Center for Jewish History, through Aug. 31.
