“Untitled (Flying Fish)” is a surrealist artwork created by Marc Chagall in 1966 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France. This piece, rendered using lithography on paper, falls under the genre of sketch and study and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork exhibits Chagall’s distinguished style, featuring a whimsical and dreamlike composition. Central to the piece is a depiction of a fantastical creature resembling a fish in flight, merging different elements in a surreal manner. The use of vivid primary colors – such as yellow, red, and green – combined with complex textures, evokes a sense of motion and spontaneity. The detailed and overlapping figures imbue the composition with a layered, multidimensional quality, capturing a sense of imaginative exploration characteristic of the Surrealist movement.
