The Two Cocks 1927 - 1930

"The Two Cocks" is an etching by Marc Chagall created between 1927 and 1930, known for its surrealist style. The artwork depicts two stylized roosters, their forms rendered in a fragmented and expressive manner. Chagall's signature use of vibrant colors is present in the etching, though the black and white medium of the print adds a distinct, graphic quality. The background is equally abstract, hinting at a fantastical landscape, adding to the overall dreamlike quality of the piece.
