Chimneys on Rooftops 1911

"Chimneys on Rooftops" is a 1911 painting by Fernand Léger that depicts an abstract view of rooftops and chimneys in an urban setting. The Cubist style is evident in the fragmented and geometric forms, with simplified shapes and bold colors, creating a dynamic composition that emphasizes the architectural structures and the atmosphere of the city. Léger's use of flat planes, overlapping shapes, and strong outlines gives the artwork a sense of depth and movement. This painting exemplifies the Cubist movement's rejection of traditional perspective and its embrace of abstraction.
