Le Clown au Cirque is a tempera and pen and ink on board painting by Belarusian-French artist Marc Chagall created in 1980.
The painting depicts floating clowns amid the circus ring in the middle of the performance. [1] The subject of circus was dear to the artist. [2] Chagall often returned to the circus as a subject matter in his artworks. [3] He considered clowns, acrobats and actors as tragically human beings who are like characters in certain religious paintings. [4]
Among other Post-Impressionist and Modern painters who featured the circus in their works are Seurat, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Rouault, Van Dongen and Léger. [4]
