“The Blue Nymph” is a lithographic artwork created by Marc Chagall in 1962 in France. The piece belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and features dimensions of 75.5 x 55 cm. This mythological painting is rendered on paper and currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a surreal and dreamlike scene characteristic of Chagall’s unique style. The central figure appears to be a nymph, a mythological creature, intertwined with fantastical elements in a composition filled with fluid lines and expressive, bold colors. The use of blue tones lends a mystical and tranquil atmosphere to the piece. The whimsical portrayal suggests a narrative deeply rooted in mythology and imagination, resonating with the Naïve Art movement’s appreciation for simplicity and directness in visual expression.
