The Grey House, Chagall

A composition with broken planes in the style of Cubism, to which Chagall was exposed during his stay in Paris and to which the master of Vitebsk added his style. Elements of certain realism are also discovered in this work. In the background, the real urban landscape of his beloved hometown is depicted. In the foreground is a typical wooden house of his time.
It's a painting that is playful in its forms and melancholic in its colors. On the left is a mysterious character, with "Chagall" written on the lower part of his jacket and, on the sleeve of the man, the hebrew word "מארק" (Marc) can be read. Historians think it's very likely a representation of the artist himself.
