Chagall was considered as pioneer of modern art and one of its greatest figurative painters who invented a visual language that recorded the thrill and terror of the 20th century. For decades, he has been respected as the world's preeminent Jewish artist.
"When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is". View Artist Collection

About The DonkeyWoman (La Femme À La Tête D'âne) Marc Chagall
In La femme à la tête d'âne, it is clear that the fantasy that had already saturated Chagall's vision was given a new momentum through this commission. The hybrids and chimeras that had hitherto occasionally peopled Chagall's work now became a force in their own right. In related works, animals and humans all intermingled and interweaved with topsy-turvy landscapes that gave a heady and intoxicating sense of the bewildering transgressive spectacle of the circus. Here, this is evident not only in the donkey-woman of the title, who recalls the appearance of the transformed Bottom in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, but also in the be-hatted animal in the background. Such cross-germinated dream creatures would henceforth become an increasingly important element in Chagall's playful visual idiom. Meanwhile, the rich colourism of the background, with its green landscape tilting up one side, pierced by a crisp white moon, and a turquoise streak emerging on the other alongside more nocturnal hues, adds an intense energy to the composition.
