The Greeting 1922 - 1923

"The Greeting" (1922-1923) is an etching by Marc Chagall, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century art movement known as Expressionism. The work features a stylized depiction of two figures, a man and a woman, in the foreground with a church in the background, creating a sense of narrative. The geometric and fragmented composition, characteristic of Chagall's style, lends an air of dreamlike surrealism to the scene. The artist's use of line and shading adds depth and texture, contributing to the overall emotional impact of the piece.
