The artwork, titled “Peinture murale (Mural Painting),” was created by Fernand Léger in 1924. This piece is associated with the Cubism and Abstract Art movements and belongs to the genre of mural and abstract art.
The artwork features an arrangement of geometric shapes and bold colors, showcasing Léger’s characteristic abstract style. Dominant hues of red, blue, black, grey, and white are used to form a composition of interlocking rectangular planes, creating a sense of depth and spatial dynamism. The simplicity of form and the use of primary colors are indicative of the abstract and cubist influences that define Léger’s work. The composition is balanced and harmonious, demonstrating the artist’s mastery in organizing shapes and colors into a cohesive mural form.
