The artwork titled “Landscape” by Fernand Léger is a representation of the Purism art movement. It is a cityscape measuring 32.2 x 23.6 cm and is currently located in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
In the artwork, Léger utilizes bold, simplified forms and vibrant colors characteristic of Purism. The cityscape features a mixture of geometric shapes and organic elements, with urban structures interspersed with stylized trees and industrial motifs. The palette is dominated by hues of blue, green, yellow, and red, which together with the flowing lines, create a dynamic and vibrant composition. Against a backdrop of mountains and sky, buildings with distinctive features like chimneys and roofs with dramatic angles invite viewers into a harmonious blend of nature and urban life. The composition, although structured, exudes a sense of rhythm and movement, encapsulating Léger’s vision of modern industrial landscapes.
