“The Flower That Walks” is a sculpture created by Fernand Léger that belongs to the Surrealism art movement. The artwork is housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France, and measures 64 by 59 centimeters.
The artwork depicts an abstract and geometric representation of a flower that appears to have a capacity for movement, suggesting a transcendence of the natural and the static. Utilizing a vibrant palette of colors including greens, oranges, blacks, and whites, the sculpture embodies Léger’s characteristic use of bold, contrasting hues. The piece consists of a central, circular form surrounded by petal-like shapes, which, combined with the dynamic stance of the structure, evoke a sense of whimsical animation. The distinctive style and imaginative composition position this sculpture as a significant piece within the broader context of twentieth-century Surrealist art.
