212 MARC CHAGALL (Russian/French 1887-1985) Bouquet au coq jaune, ca 1960 oil on canvas signed lower centre: MARC ChAgAll; verso upper left: MARC ChAgAll 24 x 33cm PROVENANCE: Christie’s, Melbourne, 01 May 2000, lot 300 Private collection, Sydney $300,000-500,000
Bouquet au coq jaune, ca 1960, the only Marc Chagall oil to be sold at auction in Australia, returns to market with Leonard Joel, Sydney on 30th June. The joyous painting Bouquet au coq jaune, ca 1960 is definitively Marc Chagall. It reflects the personal fantasy Chagall created on his canvases. Leitmotifs of entwined lovers, floral bouquet and rooster float within a deliberately ambiguous spatial plane. The vibrant palette and expressive handling of paint demonstrate why Chagall is regarded as a master colourist. Bouquet au coq jaune, ca 1960 was likely painted towards the end of Chagall’s career, around the time he and his second wife Valentina (Vava) moved to the outskirts of Saint-Paul de Vance in 1966. Flowers filled his paintings of this period and his compositions included reference to the village and its ramparts as viewed from his home. It was during this time he painted two large murals for the lobby of the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Centre in New York. Chagall cherished what he called the lumière-liberté, the light of freedom, in the French Riviera. It inspired a joyous renewal of creative possibility which Chagall expressed through a series of sumptuous floral paintings. His paintings, as in the example of Bouquet au coq jaune, ca 1960, were a celebration of life through colour and references to love. As Chagall wrote: “in our life there is a single colour, as on an artist’s palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the colour of love”.

The rooster had long been a symbol in Chagall’s painting, in part referencing his personal identity and nostalgia for his peasant origins. Chagall was born in Vitebsk, Russia, of a large and poor Jewish family. From his background he acquired a repertoire of Russian-Jewish folktales and sentimental attachment to the Jewish religion and traditions. From these elements emerged his profoundly personal and poetic compositions, which were distinct in their lyricism and sentimentality from the avant-garde developments of his peers. Chagall’s artistic development was also informed by the early years he spent in Paris, where he first arrived in 1910 from St. Petersburg. He absorbed the influences of Fauvism and Cubism. Although he departed from the analytical and fragmented representation of form, the fauvist passion for colour remained with him. Chagall also synthesised Surrealism within his practice, with paintings such as Bouquet au coq jaune, ca 1960 appearing as through from a dream, a visualisation of the subconscious. As Pablo Picasso stated: “I don’t know where he gets those images from; he must have an angel in his head”. Jane Messenger Independent Writer
