“Composition” by Fernand Léger, created in 1924, belongs to the Constructivism art movement. The artwork, abstract in nature, is currently located in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France. Measuring 25 x 23.1 centimeters, “Composition” exemplifies Léger’s exploration of geometric forms and mechanical aesthetics.
The artwork is characterized by a meticulous arrangement of mechanical elements and geometric shapes, predominantly rendered in shades of grey and black. Key features include a prominent circular form intersected by linear components, juxtaposed with a series of levers and bolts. The precision of the lines and the orderly placement of forms evoke a sense of industrial efficiency and mechanical harmony. The overall composition reflects Léger’s fascination with modern machinery and abstract art, presenting a balanced yet dynamic interplay of shapes and lines.
