Many of Chagall ’s paintings could be described as lively , romantic , humorous , imaginative , and filled with brilliant colors , but the '' White Crucifixion '' is largely drained of color . Chagall painted it in 1938 while living in Paris , in response to the horrifying events of Kristallnacht , the " Night of Broken Glass , " an anti-Jewish pogrom of official decree by propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in Nazi Germany ( including Austria and Sudetenland ) from the 9th until 10 November 1938
