The artwork, titled “Composition on Yellow Background (Green Logs),” was created by Fernand Léger in 1954 and belongs to the Surrealism movement. With dimensions of 50 x 65 cm, this abstract piece resides in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
In this composition, bold forms and vibrant colors dominate the canvas. Central to the piece is a collection of abstract shapes in hues of green and orange, outlined with thick black lines. These shapes appear almost as if they are stacked logs, dynamically intertwined against a glowing yellow backdrop. The surrounding yellow space adds a sense of warmth and energy, contrastively framing the darker, more grounded elements within. Fernand Léger’s style is evident through the geometric forms and the vivid interplay of colors, reflecting his unique contribution to abstract and surrealist art.
