His bold use of primary colors – red, blue, and yellow – further enhances the painting's dynamic composition.
Beyond the Surface: Symbolism and Meaning
While "The Disc" may appear abstract at first glance, it carries profound symbolic meanings.

The mechanical elements allude to the artist's fascination with the power and precision of machines.

While he retained the fragmented forms and multiple perspectives of the movement, he infused his work with a sense of dynamism and a celebration of modern machinery. This painting marks a pivotal moment in Léger's artistic journey, as he forged a new visual language that would influence generations of artists.
