About Music

The artwork titled “Music” by Marc Chagall, created in 1963 in France, employs oil on canvas as its medium. It is associated with the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is categorized under symbolic painting. Currently, the artwork resides within a private collection.

In this artwork, Chagall uses vivid, contrasting colors to create a dynamic scene that embodies the essence of music. At the center, a figure holds a musical score, possibly representing a connection to classical music through the inscription “MOZART.” Surrounding this figure are various colorful human-like forms depicted with instruments or in musical activities. Red, blue, green, and yellow hues dominate the canvas, each area seemingly representing different aspects or emotions evoked by music. The fluid, dreamlike quality of the figures and the use of bold, expressive colors are characteristic of Chagall’s symbolic and naive style, suggesting a deep, almost mystical connection between music and human experience.
