The artwork titled “The House under the Trees” was created by Fernand Léger in the year 1913. It belongs to the Cubism movement and is classified within the genre of landscape painting.
The artwork is a vivid manifestation of Cubism, characterized by fragmented forms and geometric shapes, presenting a distinctive portrayal of trees and a house. Dominated by bold colors including reds, blues, and greens, the painting defies traditional perspectives, instead opting for a fragmented, abstract representation. The shapes and lines intersect and overlap, creating a sense of depth and movement, while the application of color adds dynamism to the composition. The abstract depiction challenges the viewer to engage with the artwork, reconstructing the forms within their mind, thus immersing them in the unique vision of the artist.
