The artwork titled “The Balcony,” created by Fernand Léger in 1914, belongs to the Tubism art movement and is categorized within the abstract genre.
“The Balcony” showcases a dynamic interplay of geometric forms and vibrant colors, characteristic of Léger’s Tubism style. The composition is an assemblage of cylindrical shapes and forms that seem to interlock and intertwine. The figures in the artwork are stylized and fragmented, with elements of red, green, white, and hints of blue and yellow, creating a rhythmic and almost mechanical aesthetic. The background is a series of abstracted architectural elements, which contribute to the overall sense of depth and complexity. The artwork exemplifies Léger’s exploration of form, volume, and the mechanical age, rendered through a modernist lens.
