The artwork titled “Illustration for review ‘Troyer/Courant'” was created by Marc Chagall in the year 1922 in Moscow, Russian Federation. This piece, which belongs to the surrealist art movement, measures 25.3 x 16.8 cm and is classified under the genre of illustration. Currently, the piece is housed in the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire du Judaïsme in Paris, France.
The artwork features a whimsical and surreal composition that is characteristic of Chagall’s unique style. It portrays an abstract figure that appears to be composed of a series of geometric shapes, resembling cubes, with a pair of exaggeratedly large black boots. The cubes seem to form a fragmented, multi-perspective structure that challenges conventional representations of form and space. In addition to the geometric forms, there is a small, intricate sketch of what seems to be a person or animal atop the cubes, further emphasizing the surreal nature of the piece. The background is blank, making the abstract form the centerpiece. The artwork is also accompanied by a line of text in Yiddish, which adds a textual dimension to the visual experience.
