Description:
|
From a private collection. Chagall took French citizenship in 1937, but, with his wife Bella, he was forced to seek asylum in the USA in 1941 after he had been briefly imprisoned under the Vichy government in Marseille. The red rooster is frequently a symbol of vitality and fertility in Chagall's work. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/)
