Product description
In the early 20th century, the ‘green fairy’ served as a haunting muse for many avant-garde creators, though few captured its disorienting power like this print. Centered in the frame is a figure in a dark suit, clutching a knife while a floating blue bottle and a vivid red bird occupy the table. Chagall used a saturated yellow field and bold blocks of primary color to define this dreamlike reality in 1923.
About Marc Chagall
Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was born in present-day Belarus and worked mainly in France. His saturated blues and reds give his work a dreamlike glow on the wall. Expressionist art uses distorted forms and intense colour to show inner feeling.
Styling this Marc Chagall print
This Marc Chagall print pairs a vibrant atmosphere with a blue, red and yellow palette that is easy to build a room around. As a landscape piece, “The Drinker Absinthe” fills the space above a desk or bookcase at 24×36″, while 12×18″ suits a smaller wall, and it is a natural fit for a study or living room. Finish “The Drinker Absinthe” with a simple black or oak frame: its blue, red and yellow palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak.
