Deauville 

Fernand Léger created this painting titled 'Deauville' using oil on canvas. The composition bursts with geometric shapes, where bold colors clash and harmonize, creating a dynamic tension. Léger uses black outlines to define each form, further emphasizing their individual presence. The painting evokes a semiotic interplay of forms and colors. Léger’s structural approach reduces the landscape to essential components, engaging with the idea that reality can be understood through its underlying structures. The objects are not merely represented but reconstructed, allowing us to see beyond conventional representation. Notice how Léger uses sharp angles and rounded shapes to destabilize fixed meanings. This artistic choice opens up a space for interpretation. It challenges our perceptions of space, form and representation within the cultural discourse of early modernism.
