The artwork titled “Study to ‘Moses with the Burning Bush'” was created by Marc Chagall around 1963 in France. Rendered using Indian ink, pastel on paper, this piece belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is classified as a sketch and study.
The artwork presents a dynamic composition with a combination of vibrant colors and abstract forms. Dominant hues of blue, yellow, brown, and green create a vivid yet harmonious visual experience. The central figures seem to be enveloped in a mystical ambience, potentially depicting a significant narrative moment. The use of pastel gives the artwork a soft, flowing texture, while the Indian ink adds depth and contrast, emphasizing the otherworldly theme evoked by the title “Moses with the Burning Bush”. The forms appear to encapsulate both figurative and abstract elements, indicative of Chagall’s unique style within the Primitivism movement.
