Description from the seller
Marc Chagall - The Circus (Circus)
Print authorized under the supervision of the Chagall estate.
Limited edition printed on thick, rigid high‑grade art paper.
Produced in partnership with the Musée d'art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
Chagall estate mentioned printed on the back of the artwork.
ADAGP, Paris.
P.S.: The wooden frame and the mat are not part of the lot for sale. They serve as a visual support for gallery presentation.
The Circus is a major theme in the artist's work; for Chagall, the circus is not merely entertainment. It becomes a metaphor for human existence, balancing happiness, love, fragility, and nostalgia.
Several details deserve our attention in this work, according to specialists:
- The central musician: he embodies the world of the saltimbanques, figures Chagall particularly cherished.
- The female figure on the left: she may evoke a muse, a beloved, or one of the poetic characters that regularly accompany Chagall's compositions.
- The yellow crescent: it recalls the stars and the artist's dreamlike universe.
- The small figures on the right: their acrobatic gestures reinforce the evokes of the show and the circus world.
- The colors: deep blues, reds, bright yellows, and greens create the magical atmosphere characteristic of Chagall.
Marc Chagall lived and worked in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on the French Riviera. Many artists of his generation lived or painted there, such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. They all helped shape modern art!
Carefully packaged and protected with insured shipping and signature on delivery.
