The artwork titled “The Creation of the World Bird drawing of Costume” was created by the artist Fernand Léger in the year 1923. It belongs to the Cubism art movement and falls under the genre of design.
The artwork presents a stylized and abstract representation of a bird, characteristic of the Cubist movement with its fragmented and geometric forms. Léger employs a vivid palette with dominant hues of green, red, yellow, and black. Distinctive geometric shapes and patterns are used throughout the composition, giving the bird a mechanical and almost synthetic appearance. The bird’s head is depicted with a black, rectangular block, featuring a yellow beak and an expressive eye rendered as a white circle. The body showcases bold, zigzag patterns and contrasting colors, creating a striking visual impact. The wings and tail are represented with elongated, oval shapes in lively colors, contributing to the overall dynamism and rhythm of the piece. This work reflects Léger’s unique approach to Cubism, integrating design principles and vibrant color schemes into his artistic vision.
