Die Papierdrachen - Marc Chagall

The kite (1926).

 

The picture is a reminiscence of Chagall's youth in the small town of Vitebsk, the protagonist being a man who flies a paper kite from a roof, sending it up into the sky. With this scene, Chagall conveys the easygoingness and lightheartedness he had regained in Paris after the conflict-ridden years of the war.
