Marc Chagall Ecurie de chevaux, from Le Cirque, 1967 is a dream-like scene of ordinary characters such as animal, acrobats, and clowns. Chagall brings to life childhood fascinations of the circuses he saw growing up. With the eccentrically colored horses lined up in their stalls, circus administrators energetically animated along the sides, to the jugglers in the far back bouncing around, Marc Chagall brilliantly places them into the regular pace of everyday life.
Luring you into a world of exuberant colors charged with flowing energy, this scene completely overwhelms your senses. The acrobats toward the back defy gravity as they playfully float in space. His creatures even have a coy expression on their faces, compelling you to observe the layout of this entire scene. The man carrying the pail in hand slowly walks towards you, beckoning for your attention—inviting you to partake into this world of fantasy.
