Nu au coq 1947 - 1948

"Nu au Coq" (1947-1948) by Marc Chagall is a vibrant and surreal gouache painting. The artwork features a nude woman, her body depicted with a flowing, ethereal quality, standing with her arm raised above her head. A stylized bird, a rooster with an exaggeratedly large head, is positioned in the foreground. The painting is characterized by Chagall's signature use of bold colors and dreamlike imagery. The figure of the woman and the rooster, both rendered in a fluid, gestural style, create a sense of whimsy and fantasy, typical of Chagall's later works. This painting is an example of Chagall's exploration of themes of love, nature, and the human condition.
