This is the newest interpretation of this over 2000 year old story. In Chagall’s paintings there always seems to be the same village present.
It somehow looks rather like the competition by the village idiots, who can imitate Icarus the best.

Either Mr. Chagall was constantly on drugs or this was the most wonderful village ever! Great painting …
