The artwork, titled “Models, Mosaic Project for Gaz de France Alforville,” was crafted by Fernand Léger and is associated with the Purism art movement. It falls within the genre of design and is presently housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
The artwork features a composition rendered in a characteristically geometric and dynamic manner, adhering to the Purist principles of assigning clarity and simplicity to forms typically associated with machines. Bold, clean lines and vibrant, contrasting colors dominate the piece, embodying the artist’s fascination with the modern industrial age and mechanical forms. The arrangement of shapes and the usage of primary colors combined with black and white accentuate the mechanical elements, illustrating Léger’s vision of integrating art with modern technology and industrialization.
