The artwork, titled “The Composition with the Umbrella,” was created by Fernand Leger in 1932. It belongs to the Purism art movement and falls under the genre of design.
In this dynamic composition, the artist features a striking orange umbrella juxtaposed with an abstract array of geometric shapes and industrial elements including gears and keys. Distinctive use of bold colors and fluid lines are evident throughout the piece, blending both organic and mechanical aspects. The background is rendered in a gradient of warm shades, which further accentuates the vivid forms in the foreground. The integration of these various elements results in a visually harmonious yet intricate design, encapsulating the essence of Purism through its emphasis on simplicity and precision.
