Autour du Peintre à la palette et au coq, 1960 1966

Marc Chagall's "Autour du Peintre à la palette et au coq" (1966) is a vibrant expression of his characteristic style, marrying the surreal and the folkloric. The artwork features a rooster in bold red and orange hues, its gaze intense and expressive. Chagall’s signature blend of color and form creates a dreamlike scene, with floating figures and objects, conveying a sense of whimsy and emotional depth. The title suggests the painting may be a reflection on the artist's own creative process, with the rooster representing his artistic spirit.
