About The birds in the landscape

“The birds in the landscape” is a painting by Fernand Léger, a noted figure of the Purism art movement. The artwork, which measures 102 x 197 cm, is an exemplary piece of animal painting and is currently housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.

The artwork employs bold and stylized forms to depict a vibrant natural scene. Two birds are rendered in a dynamic flight, juxtaposed against an abstracted landscape. The composition is marked by pronounced black lines delineating the forms, with a color palette that primarily features yellows, reds, greens, and whites. The foliage and abstract shapes in the background contribute to the rich texture and depth of the piece, reflecting Leger’s characteristic emphasis on the harmony between man-made and natural elements.
