Marc Chagall, Oil on Canvas painting: The Green Violinist, 1923 (In the style of).… Measures: 60 x 40 cms..………….….. After Marc Chagall moved to Paris from Russia in 1910, his paintings quickly came to reflect the latest avant-garde styles. In Paris Through the Window, Chagall’s debt to the Orphic Cubism of his colleague Robert Delaunay is clear in the semitransparent overlapping planes of vivid color in the sky above the city. Chagall’s parachutist might also refer to contemporary experience, since the first successful jump occurred in 1912. In The Green Violinist Chagall evoked his homeland. The artist’s nostalgia for his own work was another impetus in creating this painting, which is based on earlier versions of the same subject. His cultural and religious legacy is illuminated by the figure of the violinist dancing in a rustic village. In paintings such as these it is clear that the artist preferred the life of the mind, memory, and magical Symbolism over realistic representation………This item will sell as "in the style of" (under Auction Policies).
