The artwork, titled “The Pool,” was created by Fernand Léger and belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This piece is categorized under the genre of sketch and study and is part of the series “Album X la ville.” Currently, it is housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
In this composition, Léger employs bold, black outlines to define the forms of the figures and the surrounding elements. The scene depicts individuals engaged in aquatic activities, characterized by simplified and expressive shapes. The use of vibrant colors such as blue, orange, and black creates a dynamic balance and conveys the energy of a lively poolside environment. The figures appear to float and interact within the space, illustrating Léger’s focus on movement and the human body’s integration into modern life. The artwork captures a whimsical and coherent composition typical of Léger’s creativity and unique perspective on urban leisure.
