“Children in the Bird” is a distinguished artwork created by Fernand Léger in 1953. Characteristic of the Purism movement, this portrait measures 140 x 77 cm and is currently housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
The artwork reveals a harmonious blend of vivid colors and geometric forms, characteristic of Léger’s style. A prominent human figure, rendered in flat, bold hues, is depicted holding a flower, with a stylized bird placed strikingly above them. The background consists of organic shapes and abstract forms, adding depth and complexity to the scene. The use of primary colors and black outlines emphasizes the purity and clarity central to the Purism movement. The placement and arrangement of elements within the composition draw the viewer’s eye through a dynamic yet balanced visual experience.
