The artwork titled “Artist and His Wife,” created by Marc Chagall in 1969 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, is an oil painting on canvas measuring 92 x 65 cm. It belongs to the surrealism art movement and represents symbolic painting. This piece is part of a private collection.
In the artwork, Chagall’s use of surrealist techniques is evident through the vibrant and contrasting color palette. The composition is divided primarily into three color sections: a blue area on the left, a red area on the right, and a purple triangular section in the center adorned with floral motifs. The depiction of the artist and his wife is expressed in an abstract manner, their figures blending into the dynamic and whimsical background. Chagall’s use of symbolic elements and creative brushwork conveys a dreamlike and intimate scene that reflects his unique style within the surrealist movement.
