Marc Chagall Couple dans Mimosa (Couple in Mimosa), from Nice and the Côte d'Azur, 1967 is a magnificent work that express's the artist's unparalleled ability to visually communicate intimacy in its most private and passionate existence. Couple in Mimosa takes place at night on the coast of France, as a bright moon illuminates the city below. The city bustles with night energy, filled with bold splashes of magenta and purple. Above the city, in the mysterious space between earthly life and a watchful moon, we observe a couple deep in love. The male gently embraces the female, looking at her intently and holding her securely. The passion transmitted from man to woman becomes a visual metaphor in the burst of multicolored floral images that surrounds the couple. These flowers act as a halo, symbolizing the physical and emotional union of this pair. Chagall's mastery of color and figural depiction shines through, as he invites us to enter into the romance and passion of this scene.
