L’artiste et le nu 1978

“L’artiste et le nu” is a vibrant gouache painting by Marc Chagall from 1978. The artwork portrays the artist at work, likely in his studio. The artist appears as a figure in blue, with a palette of colors in front of him, while the subject of his painting, a nude female figure, is partially visible on an easel. Chagall’s signature style is evident in the dynamic composition, the bold use of color, and the dreamlike atmosphere. The artwork is a charming portrayal of the creative process and the artist's intimate relationship with his subject.
