“Blue Landscape,” a gouache on paper artwork created by Marc Chagall in 1949, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. Representing a figurative genre, the artwork measures 77 x 56 cm and is housed in the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal, Germany.
The artwork features a predominantly blue palette, imparting a dreamlike, surreal atmosphere. At the center, two ethereal figures appear to be intertwined, evoking a sense of intimacy and tenderness. Above them, a bird and a fish hover, each rendered in such a way that they contribute to the fantastical nature of the scene. The composition seems to blur the boundary between reality and imagination, characteristic of Chagall’s evocative and symbolic style. The varied hues of blue, interspersed with other vibrant colors, create a sense of depth and emotion, further enhancing the mystical quality of the landscape.
