“The Green Branch,” created by Marc Chagall in 1984 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, is a lithography on paper that measures 83.5 x 60 cm. This work is associated with the Surrealism movement and falls within the genre painting category.
The artwork depicts a whimsical scene infused with the dreamlike quality characteristic of Chagall’s Surrealist style. Central figures and motifs are rendered with fluid lines and soft touches of color, notably greens and pinks, illustrating both humans and ethereal elements intertwined with nature. One can observe delicate floral patterns and abstract shapes that convey a sense of fantasy and poetic expression. Human figures, drawn with a sense of innocence and curiosity, interact with their surroundings in an almost otherworldly setting. This lithograph captures an enchanting interplay between reality and imagination, seamlessly blending the two to evoke a deeper narrative beneath its surface.
