The artwork, titled “Illustration for literary review ‘Shtrom heftn'”, was created by Marc Chagall in 1923 in Moscow, Russian Federation. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and falls under the genre of illustration. The artwork is currently housed at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire du Judaïsme in Paris, France.
In this illustration, Chagall employs a minimalistic approach, characterized by sparse, yet expressive lines. The composition includes abstract representations, with geometric shapes and stylized figures. The artwork’s simplicity and abstract nature are consistent with the aesthetics of Naïve Art, where the emphasis is more on expression than on realistic depiction. The use of contrasting dark and light elements adds a dynamic quality to the overall presentation, reflecting the artist’s unique style and creative vision.
