Marc Chagall (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 102 x 169 cm - 1933 - (Tel-Aviv Museum of Art (Tel-Aviv, Israel)) (i) - Fauvism (i)
The artwork "Solitude" by Marc Chagall is an example of a cultural treatment of alienation rather than solitude as it is often understood with regard to a person. Chagall's goal is to portray Jewish culture at the pivotal year of 1933 in Europe. The image of God's messenger, the sacrificial animal, the Torah or biblical scroll, the customary headpiece, and the picture of a historical rabbi or elder personifying Judaism make this apparent. This picture appears to represent a rejection of anti-Jewish attitude that was prominent in various areas of Europe at the time, with some believing that this race could not produce remarkable art despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Chagall's portrayal, almost satirising this additional humour, suggests that even animals can generate cultural objects, but apparently not his own community. He would be joined by a number of non-Jewish painters, all of whom would be scorned by the ultra-conservative government authorities who tried to regulate art and guarantee that it returned to its previous century's style. This attempt to control culture would ultimately fail, and artists like Chagall are now revered all across the world.
