Marc Chagall was famous for writing checks for nearly everything he bought. Many of the recipients would never cash the checks and just keep it as a souvenir.

No doubt he’ll share his good fortune with whoever he bought it from. If it’s real.

I guess he’ll be showing up on Pawn Stars with it. And then Rick will be calling someone who knows a little bit about art! lol

Picasso sometimes just gave away paintings to strangers for admiring his work. He would also scribble drawings on checks that he wrote for goods and services, knowing that many people wouldn't cash them.

I’ve got two items from goodwill that I hope will make me richer...one is a sketch but I can’t prove who did it and another is an original watercolor by a woman known as the “grandma Moses of California” and she did have paintings at the San Francisco Museum of Art...

When I was a tiny tot (1968) my mom decided to furnish the house in modern.
This included a print of a Chagall painting of a chicken. I remember it well.
One day it suddenly disappeared. My mom years later revealed that one day she was sitting on the couch and noticed that while on the surface it seemed to be a chicken, when looked at in the right way it was actually a couple engaged in coitus.
Being a preschooler I only ever saw the chicken.

Chagall couldn’t beat Picasso for weirdness, but they definitely played in the same league.
