Fire in the City 1922

"Fire in the City" is a 1922 lithograph by Marc Chagall, known for his unique style that blends realism with surrealism and whimsicality. The artwork depicts a chaotic scene with people running, furniture toppling over, and a bed being carried through the streets. The use of simple lines and a muted palette creates a sense of urgency and disarray, hinting at the chaos and disruption of a fire. This work is characteristic of Chagall's exploration of Jewish life in Eastern Europe, where his artistic journey began.
