Marc Chagall Au village rouge 1973 Expressionist Art Print

Deep within the saturated crimsons and fiery oranges of a dreamlike settlement, a blue horse carries a central figure with outstretched arms. This print captures the essence of the artist’s later period, blending heavy textures with a kaleidoscopic palette of primary colors and deep blues.

About Marc Chagall

Marc Chagall created stained glass, ballet designs and the ceiling of the Paris Opera, as well as paintings and prints. His saturated blues and reds give his work a dreamlike glow on the wall. Expressionism, which flourished in early 20th-century Germany and Austria, puts emotion before realism. The original dates from 1973. Chagall’s floating lovers, violinists and village scenes draw on folk tradition and memory.
