La Fête du peintre (c.1978). Marc Chagall (Russian-French, 1887-1985). Tempera, pastel and brush and ink on paper.La Fête du peintre is a quintessential example of Chagall’s mastery in assembling an array of personal and folkloric images in a rich and colour-filled composition. This work contains several crucial elements of the artist’s pictorial iconography, including roosters, flowers, goats and celestial beings. Evoking the village of his childhood home in Russia as well as the Mediterranean coastal towns in the south of France, this work is Chagall’s celebration incarnate of his vivid imagination. Numerous self-portraits, seemingly from different eras in Chagall’s life intermingle revelling in his creative process. -- source link
