The artwork, titled “Landscape,” was created by Fernand Léger during the years 1912 to 1913. It belongs to the Cubism art movement and is categorized within the cityscape genre.
The artwork illustrates a complex and fragmented urban scene typical of Cubism. Utilizing geometric shapes and a subdued color palette, Léger deconstructs and reassembles elements of buildings and nature. The composition is dominated by intersecting lines and overlapping planes, which give the impression of depth and multiple perspectives simultaneously. The forms, though abstracted, suggest architectural structures and vegetation, evoking the essence of a city environment depicted through an avant-garde lens. The juxtaposition of muted earth tones with occasional splashes of brighter colors enhances the dynamic yet harmonious quality of the painting.
