Description

The space in which the great figure of the drummer is placed has abandoned any logic of structuring and proportionality. The dimensional relationships of characters, animals and architectures as well as the chromatic layers of intense tones mainly blue, red and yellow contribute to the creation of a lively and visionary representation in which once again the figure of a musician, positioned between heaven and earth, triumphs over everything. The iconographies of the peasant women, of the houses with wooden roofs, of the donkeys and of the cows, alluding to life in the artist's native town, inhabit a kaleidoscopic vision impregnated by the now remote memories of childhood, but always and in any case well alive in the heart and in the eyes of the artist and that indeed, in the distance from his homeland, they recall and exalt each other. The work was dated to the years following 1948 when Chagall returned to France from the United States, where he had been forced to emigrate, and it is precisely in these years that numerous guaches works characterized by a dense and compact chromatic material date back. In the 1940s, during his stay in America, the painter matured a strong and impulsive use of color together with a metaphorical and mythicizing reworking of some personal iconographic themes, all elements present in the painting from the Lucci collection. A production whose results are in full contradiction with the sweet and pastoral lyricism of the previous period.
