The artwork, titled “Deauville” by Fernand Léger, belongs to the Purism movement and falls within the abstract genre. It is currently housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
In this vivid composition, the artwork displays an intricate interplay of geometric forms and a bold, vibrant color palette. Dominated by hues of yellow, blue, orange, and green, the piece encapsulates the Purist ethos of simplifying objects to their essential geometric forms. The use of contrasting colors and fragmented shapes creates a dynamic visual experience. The depiction seemingly portrays various architectural and natural elements, abstractly intertwined. The structured yet playful arrangement reflects Léger’s inclination towards modernist abstraction while maintaining an orderly composition that characterizes Purism.
