The artwork, entitled “Peinture murale (Mural Painting),” is a creation by Fernand Léger, dating back to 1924. This piece is associated with the Cubism and Abstract Art movements and falls within the genre of mural and abstract art.
In the artwork, a series of geometric shapes and forms are juxtaposed in a dynamic arrangement. Dominating the composition are rectangular and linear elements, rendered predominantly in bold colors such as red, blue, black, and grey, all set against a white background. The interplay of shapes and colors creates a sense of rhythm and movement, reflective of Léger’s commitment to abstraction and the mechanical aesthetic. The balance of forms and the precision of lines convey a structured yet vibrant visual experience, encapsulating the essence of both Cubism and abstract art during the early 20th century.
