A framed color poster presenting Marc Chagall’s celebrated I and the Village. A man and an animal face one another across a dreamlike composition filled with village rooftops, floating figures, a woman milking a cow, and a flowering sprig. Pink, blue, and cream tones bring a lyrical quality to this imaginative vision of rural life.
The lower margin bears the title, Marc Chagall’s name, and “Museum of Modern Art.” The composition derives from Chagall’s 1911 painting in the museum’s collection.
