“Clock with Blue Wing,” an artwork by Marc Chagall, created in 1949 in France, is an oil on canvas piece that falls within the Surrealism art movement. The still life measures 92 x 79 cm and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork showcases a large, ornate clock prominently at its center, adorned with a vivid blue wing on its right side, adding a fantastical element to the scene. The background is a dark, starry night, contrasted by snow-covered houses, conveying a sense of cold and desolation, while a rooster in flight and a splash of red flowers bring warmth and life into the composition. The juxtaposition of the mundane yet elaborately decorated clock with the ethereal blue wing epitomizes Chagall’s surrealist style, blending reality with dreamlike imagery. The setting and elements within the artwork invite a deeper contemplation of time, nature, and the whimsical interconnections between them.
