The artwork titled “Vitrage at Art Institute of Chicago,” created by Marc Chagall in 1976 while in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, exemplifies the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. It measures 29.4 by 37.4 cm and belongs to the genre of design. This work is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, US.
The artwork features a dynamic and vivid composition dominated by shades of blue, creating an ethereal and dreamlike atmosphere. Symbolic and whimsical elements are scattered throughout, including a figure playing a violin, a celestial body, birds, and an angelic form blowing a horn while holding a golden rectangular frame. The painterly style and the collage of surreal components demonstrate Chagall’s distinctive approach to combining fantastical imagery with a sense of childlike wonder.
