"The Green Violinist"

Marc Chagall (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 198 x 108 cm - 1924 - Cubism (i)
Marc Chagall's The Green Violinist , painted in 1923-24, is a masterpiece of modern art that showcases the artist's unique style and vision. The painting depicts a fiddler as the central figure who appears to be floating or dancing above the much smaller rooftops of the misty gray village below.
Background
Chagall completed The Green Violinist following his return to Paris after a long visit to his homeland of Russia. This particular version is a later re-working of an earlier version painted during Chagall's second Russian period. The subject matter of the painting is nearly identical to its 1920 predecessor, Music, which was one of seven paintings created on a commission from the Moscow State Jewish Theatre.
Chagall and the Jewish Theater
In 1917, during his Second Russian Period, Chagall began accepting commissions to work on theater sets and costume design. In 1919, he was commissioned to create a setting for the premier production of Alexis Granowsky's Moscow State Jewish Theatre. Through the subject matter of the painting Introduction to the Jewish Theater , Chagall inserts himself as an important and defining voice for the new direction of Jewish Theater.
Chagall's Style
Chagall's style is characterized by his use of color and whimsical content, with disregard to space and time. The Green Violinist is a testament to the same, showcasing the artist's unique ability to blend reality with fantasy.
Conclusion
The Green Violinist by Marc Chagall is a masterpiece of modern art that showcases the artist's unique style and vision. The painting is available for purchase as an oil painting reproduction on canvas from WahooArt.com, where you can find hand-painted fine art reproductions of any size or style, made to your exact specifications and wishes.

Painting Information : Marc Chagall’s work is noted for his use of colour and whimsical content, with disregard to space and time; The Green Violinist is a testament to the same. The style is influenced by the Avant-garde trend that was prevailing in Paris when he had relocated there. The painting shows a fiddler, totally green except for a gloved hand, playing the violin as he stands on two houses or floats above them. Hasidic traditions considered a vital presence in ceremonies as they believed that communion with God could be reached through music. The painting shows the tension between change and continuity, the fiddler plays for those leaving the town in horse drawn carts, and a man flying away above him; the dog serves a motif of fidelity to the past, the ladder is at once grounded but free, the tree is barren with a bird, a symbol of freedom. The painting also shows the relationship between the material and the spiritual aspects of one’s life. The painting, a reworking of a previous painting shows his nostalgia not only for his Russian roots and for his own work. Chagall said, “Changes in societal structure and in art would possess more credibility if they had their origins in the soul and spirit. If people read the words of the prophets with closer attention, they would find the keys to life.” Image Information : The painting is a colorful depiction of a man playing the violin while standing in front of a house. The man appears to be wearing a purple coat and has a green face. He holds his instrument with both hands as he plays. In addition to the main subject, there are several other people scattered throughout the painting, some closer to the foreground and others further away. There is also an airplane in the background on the left side of the image. The scene seems to be a lively gathering or event with various individuals participating. ### Informations: # Informations from https://WahooArt.com docs: Document:Discovering the Kunstmuse../..
