The artwork, named “Deux musiciennes,” was created by Le Corbusier in 1937. This piece belongs to the art movements of Cubism and Surrealism and falls under the figurative genre.
In this artwork, Le Corbusier employs geometric forms and an abstract representation to depict two musicians. The composition utilizes a vivid color palette, with predominant shades of blue, yellow, and white, interspersed with red and green. The figures of the musicians are fragmented and reassembled in a cubist manner, creating a sense of rhythm and dynamism. The surrealist influence is evident in the surreal and imaginative portrayal of the subjects, merging reality with dream-like scenarios. The overall effect challenges the viewer to perceive music and musicianship through a blend of abstract and representational elements.
