The artwork, titled “Composition,” was created by Fernand Léger in 1918. This piece belongs to the Cubism art movement and falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork features a complex arrangement of geometric shapes and bold colors, emblematic of the Cubist movement. Circles, triangles, rectangles, and parallelograms are interspersed in a meticulously organized yet seemingly chaotic manner. The use of a minimal color palette, including primary colors such as red, yellow, blue, and contrasting blacks, whites, and grays, contributes to the artwork’s dynamic and modern aesthetic. Léger employs these elements to create an intricate interplay of forms that evoke industrial and mechanical themes, characteristic of his style during this period. The overall composition demonstrates a harmonious yet fragmented visual experience, aligning with the principles of Cubism which emphasize the deconstruction and reassembly of objects.
