The artwork, titled “Creation of World (study to vitrage at Musée national Message Biblique Marc Chagall in Nice),” was crafted by the distinguished artist Marc Chagall in 1971 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France. This piece belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and exhibits a design genre. The artwork measures 38.4 by 56 centimeters.
“Creation of World” is an elegant composition divided into three distinct sections presented on a plain backdrop. The drawings capture an array of mythical and symbolic elements, rendered in Chagall’s distinctive, fluid line work. The left section features ethereal forms and celestial figures, emphasizing themes of cosmic creation. The central section exhibits a scene wherein various creatures and human forms coexist, encapsulating the burgeoning life on earth. The right section seems to depict more abstract, swirling forms, perhaps symbolizing the dynamic forces at play in the universe’s formation. Each panel reflects Chagall’s affinity for mythological themes and his unique artistic vision, characterized by dreamlike and poetic qualities.
