About The Creation of the World costume of woman

The artwork named “The Creation of the World costume of woman” was created by Fernand Léger in 1923. This piece belongs to the Cubism art movement and falls under the genre of design.

The artwork features a highly stylized and geometric representation of a woman, characterized by the use of bold lines and shapes. The figure appears to be composed of various horizontal and vertical lines in black, with accents of golden yellow. The head is depicted as a circle with a segment colored in yellow, while the body and limbs are formed using rigid, angular shapes, reflecting the abstraction typical of Cubism. The overall composition presents a dynamic, machine-like figure, emphasizing symmetry and modernity, consistent with Léger’s exploration of mechanical forms and industrial aesthetics.
