The artwork titled “Title given the bird in the flowers, study for the Circus” by Fernand Léger, falls under the Purism art movement and is classified as a sketch and study. This piece is housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
The artwork portrays an intricate interplay of natural elements, featuring a bird, flowers, and surrounding foliage intricately drawn in black ink on a white background. The bird appears central to the composition, encapsulated by abstract representations of plants and flowers which converge in a harmonious yet stylized manner typical of Purist aesthetics. The minimal color palette emphasizes the clear, geometric lines and shapes, exemplifying Léger’s commitment to clarity, simplicity, and structure in his preparatory sketches for larger works.
