The artwork titled “Farewell” by Marc Chagall, created in 1985 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, is a symbolic painting that belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. Executed in pencil on paper, the work measures 64.5 x 48 cm.
The artwork features a composition primarily rendered in soft pencil lines. A central figure appears to be seated, engaged in what seems to be a tender interaction with another figure, possibly depicted in a simple and abstract form on the left side. The delicate and seemingly unrefined lines lend the work a naively intimate and emotional quality, characteristic of Chagall’s signature style within the Primitivism movement. The sparse detailing invokes a thoughtful, introspective mood, suggesting themes of departure or contemplation, echoing the title “Farewell”.
