The artwork titled “Rooster and Logs” was created by Fernand Léger in 1952 and belongs to the Surrealism art movement. It is an animal painting measuring 24 x 28.1 cm and is housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
The artwork depicts a colorful rooster, prominently positioned amidst an array of abstract log forms that are rendered in various bold colors—orange, blue, brown, black, and green. The rooster itself is illustrated with a vivid palette, featuring a body adorned in bright red, yellow, and occasional blue accents, creating a striking contrast against the surrounding wooden log structures. The overall composition reveals a sense of dynamic interaction between the organic form of the rooster and the geometric abstraction of the logs, reflecting the influences of Surrealist aesthetics. The use of bold, clear outlines and vibrant colors is characteristic of Léger’s style, creating an engaging visual experience.
