Fernand Léger created "Deauville" using vibrant colours and bold geometric forms. Notice the simplified shapes suggesting architectural elements and human figures. The circles, like ancient sun discs, carry the weight of centuries, symbols of totality and cyclical time, appearing even in Paleolithic cave paintings, representing both celestial bodies and the all-seeing eye. Similarly, the straight lines recall the modernist grid but also ancient city plans, evoking the very essence of civilization. Consider the emotional impact of this image. The bold colours and stark forms create tension, pulling at our subconscious. These shapes trigger a primal response, a deep-seated recognition of our constructed environments and our place within them. As the wheel turns, these elemental forms, circles, and lines persist, evolving yet forever echoing through human history.
