The artwork titled “A mosaic model for the crypt of the memorial at high Mardasson” by Fernand Léger is a representation of the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement, belonging to the genre of design. It is currently housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
This piece depicts a vibrant mosaic arch with elements of both geometric and organic shapes, rendered in a bold color palette. Dominating the central upper portion is a stylized menorah, set against a backdrop of swirling, multicolored abstract forms. The lower section features a simple, solid table flanked by abstract human figures, whose postures suggest acts of contemplation or reverence. The juxtaposition of lively hues and dynamic forms conveys a sense of spiritual and historical significance, reflecting Léger’s distinct style within the Primitivism movement.
