Children in the bird 1953

"Children in the Bird" (1953) is a ceramic mural by French artist Fernand Léger, known for his bold, geometric forms and vibrant colors. The composition features a stylized, simplified figure of a woman holding a flower, framed by a bright yellow and green background, with a red and green bird flying overhead. This work reflects Léger's Cubist influences and interest in exploring the human form through simplified, abstract representation. Léger often drew inspiration from the natural world and the dynamism of modern life, which is captured in the energetic lines and bold colors of this artwork. "Children in the Bird" is on display at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
