Details
L’oiseau bleu (The Blue Bird), 1968 exemplifies the dreamlike compositions and imagery often found in his oeuvre. Below, a small town slumbers, welcoming the night as the last of the warm yellow sun disappears below the horizon. To the right of the bird an elegant figure appears with lush green skin and beautiful flowers and vines growing from her head like hair. This verdant woman, perhaps representing the earth, looks down on the sleeping town like a night-watchman. The romantic setting is typical of Chagall, as well as the rich colours used to portray the scene.
“When Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who truly understands what colour really is.” - Pablo Picasso
