About Circus (Au Cirque) Marc Chagall Modernism Painting
The CircusThe dazzling spectacle of the circus, with its daring performers, colourful costumes and tragicomic cast of characters, became an important subject within Chagall’s work. While the artist had encountered traveling troupes of acrobats growing up in Vitebsk, upon his arrival in Paris he experienced an entirely new style of performance, filled with colour and dynamism, drama and excitement. During the late 1920s, he frequented the Cirque d’Hiver, using the personal box of Ambroise Vollard, and he would draw on his memories of these performances on a regular basis over the following half century, exploring the fantastical nature and irrepressible spirit of the circus in numerous compositions. Enthralled by the pageantry of the performances, with their play of action and colourful variety, Chagall found in the circus a metaphor for life itself. As a result, he sought to imbue his visions of the circus with an element of the profound, explaining: ‘I did not want to spare any of the more moving, tender feelings in a picture of a clown or a circus rider, feelings which one would experience in painting a Madonna, a Christ, a rabbi with the Torah, or a pair of lovers’ About the Posters
