The artwork is titled “Nature pâle à la lanterne,” created in 1922 by the artist Le Corbusier. It belongs to the Cubism art movement and falls within the genre of still life.
The artwork exhibits a subdued and monochromatic palette, predominantly featuring pale and muted earthy tones. It employs geometric abstraction to represent various elements, typical of the Cubism movement. The composition includes a blend of angular and curved shapes arranged in a somewhat disjointed yet harmonious manner. The objects depicted, while not immediately recognizable due to the abstraction, suggest everyday items such as bottles, possibly a lantern, and other still life components often seen on a table. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the overlapping forms, creates a sense of depth and structure within the composition. This reflective and calculated arrangement is characteristic of Le Corbusier’s approach to visual art, harmonizing form, and function.
