The artwork titled “Models, mosaic project for Gaz de France Alforville” was created by the artist Fernand Léger in 1955. This piece is a manifestation of the Purism art movement and falls within the genre of design. It is currently housed at the Musee National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
This artwork exhibits a vibrant assemblage of colors and geometric forms. Central to the piece is a white shape resembling a flame or a floral motif, adorned with abstract, colorful leaves in blue, yellow, orange, and brown. Surrounding this central figure, the background is filled with dynamic, bold shapes and lines in pure, primary colors such as red, yellow, blue, and green. The arrangement of these elements creates a harmonious and rhythmic composition, reflecting the principles of Purism, which emphasize clarity and the beauty of simple geometric forms. The black outlines delineate each shape, adding to the structured and cohesive appearance of the artwork.
