The Creation of the prehistoric World state 1923

"The Creation of the Prehistoric World state" is a gouache on paper drawing by Fernand Léger, created in 1923. This artwork is a characteristic example of Léger's Cubist style, featuring bold geometric shapes and a simplified, almost schematic depiction of a creature with an orange-red tail. The artist was known for his interest in the theme of machinery, as well as his use of bright colors and contrasting lines. His works, including this one, aimed to capture the dynamism and energy of the modern world, using a simplified visual language to evoke the essential forms of nature and industry.
