The artwork, titled “Study to ‘Song of Songs V,'” was created by the artist Marc Chagall approximately in the year 1965 in France. It belongs to the art movement known as Surrealism and is categorized as a sketch and study. This piece is part of the “Song of Songs” series.
In “Study to ‘Song of Songs V,'” Chagall employs vibrant, swirling colors to create an ethereal scene that pulsates with dream-like qualities characteristic of Surrealism. Predominantly rendered in pinks and reds, the composition features abstracted forms and motifs including a figure with a serene, smiling face adrift on a flowing, wave-like background. To one side, a yellow, winged shape hovers near a radiant, circular sun, adding to the mystical atmosphere. A blue and yellow figure at the lower left, along with a floral-like form on the lower right, contribute to the fantastical and poetic nature of the piece. The deliberate strokes and dynamic lines evoke a sense of movement and emotion, inviting the viewer into an intimate, otherworldly realm.
