“Song of Songs III,” an artwork by Marc Chagall, created in 1960 in France, employs pastel on paper as its medium. The artwork, which measures 28.5 by 38 cm, is part of the “Song of Songs” series and belongs to the Surrealism art movement, categorized under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork presents a dreamlike, surreal composition characterized by a vivid use of color and symbolic imagery. Central to the piece is the depiction of a couple, seemingly floating amidst a fantastical landscape. The background is awash with a pink hue, evoking a sense of warmth and romance. Around the central figures are various ethereal elements, such as celestial bodies, winged creatures, and whimsical figures, each rendered in Chagall’s distinctly fluid and emotive style. The scene captures a poetic and imaginative vision, resonant with themes of love and myth.
