The artwork titled “Acrobatics” was created by Marc Chagall in 1963 in France. Executed using the lithography technique on paper, this piece belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is classified as a genre painting. The dimensions of the artwork are 32 x 24 cm.
In the artwork, a whimsical and dynamic scene unfolds, with a prominent acrobat performing an impressive handstand on the left side while clad in a costume embellished with various patterns and dots. Nearby stands a female figure, depicted in a similarly bright and patterned attire, her dark curls contrasting with the predominantly light background. In the background, hazy and dreamlike figures of other acrobats continue the theme of performance, creating an ethereal atmosphere. Chagall’s use of vibrant colors and fluid forms encapsulates a sense of joyous movement and fantastical narrative.
