The artwork “Untitled” by Marc Chagall, created in 1968 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, is composed with pastel on paper. Falling within the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement, this piece is categorized as a sketch and study. It is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork features delicate use of pastel, primarily utilizing shades of blue and red. It appears to depict a bouquet-like formation composed of swirling, abstract shapes and floral motifs in red. The lower right section shows a simplistic profile of a human face outlined in blue. These elements are combined with handwritten text in a cursive script scattered across the paper, along with the prominent signature of the artist. The fluidity and spontaneity of the pastel strokes capture an essence of innocence and primitivism consistent with Naïve Art, reflecting Chagall’s adeptness at imbuing simplistic forms with profound emotional resonance.
