About Mural

The artwork is titled “Mural,” created by the renowned artist Fernand Léger in 1926. Reflecting the art movement of Suprematism, the piece spans dimensions of 130.4 by 97 cm and is categorized within the abstract genre. Currently housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France, this artwork exemplifies the stylistic elements and innovative approaches characteristic of its movement and era.

The artwork demonstrates a striking composition dominated by geometric shapes and stark contrasts. Vertical and horizontal elements intersect, creating a sense of structured harmony and rhythmic balance. The color palette, consisting primarily of bold blacks, whites, reds, and browns, emphasizes the abstract and non-representational nature of the piece. The use of solid forms and clear lines contributes to an overall impression of architectural solidity and dynamic tension. Fernand Léger’s “Mural” conveys the essence of Suprematism, focusing on pure artistic feeling rather than depicting the natural world.
