Analysis of Over the Town
The painting showcases a harmonious blend of warm and cool colors, creating depth and contrast. The couple's dark clothing stands out against the predominantly light-colored buildings, drawing attention to their flight. The red house in the background adds visual interest and breaks the monotony of the otherwise uniformly colored structures. Chagall's use of wooden fences around most homes emphasizes the town's layout while adding a sense of familiarity and nostalgia. The white sky, contrasting with the blue often seen in Chagall's works, adds to the painting's unique charm.
