ArtistMarc Chagall's I and the Village . a brilliantly colored field in which the figure of a young peasant boy stares intently at the image of a cow, and there's a small, dotted line that connects the eyes of these two creatures and behind there's an almost magical village in which a young peasant carries his scythe and a young woman floats upside down, and below at the bottom is a hand in which a flowering tree seems to grow. it's very much about thinking about home from a distance. Rendered in jewel-toned colors softened by white paint, the composition is filled with fantastical imagery. Folkloric figures and vignettes are shown at vastly different scales, and are delineated by geometric forms, including arcs, circles, and triangles. Two faces in profile dominate the composition. On the right, a man rendered in a deep green, and on the left, a grayish-white cow. They gaze at one another with calm, knowing expressions, their noses just inches apart. Scenes of village life are visible around and within their profiles. Oil painting in the style of Niko Pirosmani, Henri Matisse
