The artwork titled “Self Portrait” by Marc Chagall, created using oil, ink, and paper, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. Representing a self-portrait genre, this piece is currently part of a private collection.
The artwork showcases Marc Chagall’s unique style, characterized by simplicity and boldness that aligns with the Naïve Art movement’s ethos. It features a minimalist depiction, with a few expressive lines sketching out a side profile of the artist’s face, while vibrant red brushstrokes form the figure’s torso. The background is sparse, with delicate ink sketches of a floral arrangement in a vase and a bird in flight, adding to the ethereal and whimsical quality. The interplay of rudimentary lines and the striking, singular color indicates an introspective exploration and a portrayal of inner creativity.
