DISCUSSION: Deep, rich blues inundate this composition allowing Chagall's expressive and characteristic brushstroke to shine through. The whimsical figures making up this piece include a robust and confident rooster, widely known as a symbol of fertility and prosperity and a common muse to Chagall's many works. The nighttime landscape seems to be on the verge of daybreak, as the contrasting blues make for a harmonious outdoor nature scene with trees, a fish, and two female characters bathed in moonlight. Highlights of red, yellow, and green work together to make for a lusher, fuller piece, contrasting nicely with the dominant blues throughout. The large scale of the work also serves to be an integral part of the viewing experience, enveloping its audience within the magical landscape that Chagall has created to inspire, arouse, and excite our senses. Created in 1958, Paysage au Coq was hand-signed by March Chagall (1887 - 1985) in pencil in the lower right margin, it is also numbered 99/100 in pencil in the lower left margin.
