I and the Village
''I and the Village'' is a 1911 painting by the Russian-French artist Marc Chagall. It is exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.〔"(Marc Chagall: I and the Village, 1911 )". MoMA display caption. Retrieved 4 September 2011.〕
The work contains many soft, dreamlike images overlapping one another in a continuous space.〔Rosenblum, 240〕 In the foreground, a cap-wearing green-faced man stares at a goat or sheep with the image of a smaller goat being milked on its cheek. In the foreground is a glowing tree held in the man's dark hand. The background features a collection of houses next to an Orthodox church, and an upside-down female violinist in front of a black-clothed man holding a scythe. Note that the green-faced man wears a necklace with St. Andrew's cross, indicating that the man is a Christian. As the title suggests, ''I and the Village'' is influenced by memories of the artist's place of birth and his relationship to it.〔〔Barr, Alfred. "Masters of Modern Art". New York: Simon and Schuster, 1954. 133〕〔See also Leah Dickerman.〕
The significance of the painting lies in its seamless integration of various elements of Eastern European folktales and culture, both Russian and Yiddish.〔Rosenblum, 241〕 Its clearly defined semiotic elements (e.g. The Tree of Life) and daringly whimsical style were at the time considered groundbreaking.〔Nilsen, Alleen Pace. "Encyclopedia of 20th-Century American Humor". Phoenix, AZ: Oryx Press, 2000〕 Its frenetic, fanciful style〔 is credited to Chagall's childhood memories becoming, in the words of scholar H.W. Janson, a "cubist fairy tale"〔Janson, Horst Woldemar. "The story of painting, from cave painting to modern times". H. N. Abrams, 1977.〕 reshaped by his imagination, without regard to natural color, size or even the laws of gravity.〔
