“The Port of Trouville,” created by Fernand Léger in 1951, represents the Purism art movement. This cityscape, with dimensions of 50 x 65 cm, is housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
The artwork showcases a bold and dynamic composition, marked by strong, geometric elements and vivid colors. The scene is dominated by a juxtaposition of urban and maritime structures, featuring elements such as hulls, sails, and riggings stylized in Léger’s characteristic manner. The use of primary colors, along with black and white, creates a striking visual contrast. The abstract depiction breaks down the complex forms into simplified, machine-like components, reflecting the influence of Purism in Léger’s work.
