Bataille de Fleurs (Carnaval of Flowers) from Nice and the Côte d’Azur, 1967

This piece is called Bataille de Fleurs (Carnaval of Flowers) from Nice and Côte d’Azur by Marc Chagall. I chose this piece because just from my perspective, it's very visually pleasing. I love the main tone of blue that he uses; it's pastel and light blue and very soft. It somewhat reminds of me Christmas with the carriages in the sky carrying the flowers. Also when translated, I believe the title translates to "battle of flowers" which I think is nice and contradictory to what a battle is. However, this could be an actual depiction of the Carnaval of Flowers in Nice, which is one the biggest carnivals in the world. It's a very pretty color lithograph.
