The artwork “Contrast of Form” by Fernand Léger, created in 1913, exemplifies the Tubism art movement and represents the abstract genre.
In “Contrast of Form,” Léger manipulates geometric shapes and contrasting colors to create a dynamic, visually impactful composition. The artwork is characterized by an assembly of cylindrical and conic forms interspersed with bold stripes and vibrant hues of blue, red, white, and yellow. The arrangement of shapes and colors results in a rhythmic visual harmony, reflecting the movement’s emphasis on mechanical elements and the geometry of forms. The juxtaposition of colors and the interplay of light and shadow contribute to the depth and complexity of the piece. The artwork demonstrates Léger’s innovative approach, blending form and abstraction to evoke a sense of movement and energy.
