The artwork “Roofs” by Fernand Leger is a piece associated with the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. It falls under the genre of sketch and study and is part of the series “Album X la ville.” This artwork is currently housed at the Musée National Fernand Leger in Biot, France.
The artwork depicts an abstract cityscape, characterized by simplified and geometric forms of buildings and roofs. The use of bold lines and various shades of color highlights the structural elements of an urban environment. The composition appears dynamic and energetic, with smoke-like elements adding movement and depth to the scene. The buildings are rendered in a stylized manner, emphasizing form over realistic detail, consistent with the principles of Primitivism. The overall effect is a modern and imaginative interpretation of city rooftops, showcasing Leger’s distinctive artistic style.
