“Composition with Circles and Goat” is an artwork created by Marc Chagall in 1920 in Moscow, Russian Federation. Rendered in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Surrealism art movement and measures 38.1 by 49.5 cm. The artwork is classified as a genre painting.
The artwork is characterized by the presence of abstract and geometric elements typical of Surrealism. Dominating the composition are two large, overlapping circles in shades of blue. On the left side of the painting, a figure with a pink cap can be observed in a simplified and abstract form. To the right, against a green background, is a depiction of a goat, which adds a touch of whimsy and intrigue to the piece. The intersecting lines and geometric shapes lend a sense of structure and fragmentation, emphasizing the surreal and dreamlike quality inherent in Chagall’s works.
