Russian-born French early modernist painter, d. 1985 (7)

I believe the answer is:

chagall

(Other definitions for chagall that I've seen before include "Marc -, twentieth century Russian-born French artist" , "Russian-born painter" , "He painted" , "Marc --, Russian-French artist" , "Marc --, Russian artist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
