The artwork, titled “Deauville,” is a creation of Fernand Léger, an exponent of the Purism movement. This abstract piece, which measures 22.2 by 27 cm, is housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
The artwork showcases Léger’s distinctive style, characterized by bold colors and geometric forms. Dominated by hues of yellow, blue, green, orange, and red, the composition features a dynamic interplay of shapes and lines. It includes structured elements such as a blue boat, geometric buildings, and other abstract forms interspersed with more fluid, curvilinear patterns. The use of vivid, contrasting colors and robust outlines imbues the composition with a sense of movement and vitality, typical of Léger’s contributions to the Purism movement, which emphasized clarity and precision in art.
