“The Creation of Man” is an artwork by Marc Chagall, dated circa 1958 in France. Executed with pastel and watercolor on paper, this piece measures 50.2 by 32.5 centimeters. The artwork belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is categorized as a sketch and study.
The artwork is characterized by loose, gestural lines that evoke a sense of fluidity and spontaneity. The composition includes various human and possibly angelic forms, rendered with swift, unrefined strokes that suggest movement and creation. The central figure, discernible by its relative prominence and position, seems to be engaged in a moment of profound action or revelation. The surrounding figures and shapes contribute to an overall dynamic and somewhat ethereal scene, encapsulating a moment of artistic exploration and conceptual expression by Chagall.
