The artwork, titled “Study for The City,” is a creation of the artist Fernand Léger and belongs to the Cubism art movement. Classified as a sketch and study, this piece is housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
This composition exemplifies the Cubist inclination towards abstracted shapes and fragmented forms, with its vibrant use of color and geometric patterns. Dominant shades of yellow, blue, red, and black, interspersed with areas of white, create a dynamic visual rhythm. Various urban elements such as buildings, architectural structures, and a figure are rendered in a stylized, almost mechanical manner. The interplay between geometric forms and bright colors captures the bustling energy of city life, reflecting Léger’s fascination with modernity and industrial themes.
