The painting is a vision of Chagall’s painting “over reality”. Returning from France to his native Vitebsk, the artist paints it with pleasure.
In the opal-mother-of-pearl luminescence appears a fabulously conditional wooden town, unusually stretched up along the edge of the picture. The construction of the picture looks alogical: the canvas is filled with a dismembered torso, as if ascended over the city.
Some, including A. Breton, compared the painting of Chagall and Chirico. But the origins of their non-logical sensory problems are different.
Chagall, who borrowed the name of the painting from Baudelaire’s poem, embodied the secret movement of his soul in a restrained Cubist manner.
