The artwork titled “The Aircraft in the Sky” by Fernand Léger belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is classified within the cloudscape genre. This piece of art is housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
The artwork prominently features abstract, surrealistic elements characteristic of Léger’s style. Dominated by bold, vibrant colors, the scene appears almost dreamlike, with fluid, cloud-like blue shapes contrasting against a solid yellow background. In the center, concentric circular patterns of red, white, and blue evoke a target or emblem, intersected by elongated, ribbon-like forms extending across the piece. The composition conveys a dynamic interplay of forms, giving the viewer a sense of motion and depth, while maintaining a whimsical, imaginative quality reflective of the Surrealism movement.
