“Composition at Pitcher,” created by Fernand Leger in 1918, is a notable piece of Purism art. This still life artwork measures 28.8 x 26.5 cm and exhibits the artist’s adept use of geometric forms and bold colors, characteristic of the Purism movement.
The artwork features a vibrant composition with a central motif of a pitcher surrounded by abstracted foliage. The colors are robust and primary, including dominant hues of blue, yellow, and green, skillfully balanced with black outlines and strokes. The forms are simplified and stylized, suggesting an interplay of natural elements and man-made objects, rendered with a distinct clarity that underscores the Purist emphasis on order and clarity.
