LOT NOTES
Marc Chagall and his beloved wife Bella traveled the Mediterranean and South France during the spring of 1926. As this was his first time seeing the sea, the artist was deeply impressed by such different surroundings that influenced both his personality and style of painting. The bright light, the crisp colors of the water confronting rich tones of trees and exotic flowers, and, most importantly, the lovers - these are the main features of Chagall`s works executed in the Southern France. Even though the present lot was created decades after that determinant trip, the vibrant tone of artist`s fresh impression and almost naive fascination still lingers in colors and trickles through shapes.
