About The Yellow Crucifixion (La Crucifixion Jaune) Marc Chagall
The piece reworked many themes that first occurred in Chagall's more famous artwork White Crucifixion whereby the suffering of Jewish victims of the Holocaust was communicated through the image of Jesus Christ as a Jew. Jesus is not the central image of this picture, and instead shares the canvas with a large green Torah scroll and angel. This positioning emphasizes the Jewish character of Jesus in this work, supported by Jesus wearing a Jewish prayer shawl (tallit) and tefillin. The surrounding details are scenes from the programs occurring in Europe. There is a burning shtetl to the right, surrounded by distressed looking figures. Below this is found a Jew wearing traditional Jewish clothing (and a placard) and a fleeing woman with her child. The latter scene is reminiscent of the story of Jesus’ flight to Egypt as a child.
