The artwork, titled “The Inhuman,” was created by Fernand Léger in 1923. It is an abstract piece within the Constructivism art movement, measuring 25 x 32.2 cm. This artwork is presently housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
In “The Inhuman,” Léger employs geometric shapes and abstract forms, characteristic of the Constructivism movement. The composition is marked by the use of contrasting black and white tones, and includes a variety of intersecting lines and shapes, creating a dynamic and complex visual rhythm. The structured yet fragmented appearance reflects the movement’s engagement with modern industrial aesthetics. The bold lettering and angular elements contribute to the industrial, mechanical feel of the artwork, indicative of Léger’s fascination with machinery and urban life.
