The butterfly on the wheel 1948

"The Butterfly on the Wheel," a 1948 work by Fernand Léger, is a prime example of Cubist style. The painting features a simplified, geometric composition with a central wheel, a ladder, and stylized branches against a white background. The contrasting colors and bold shapes create a dynamic and energetic feel, characteristic of Léger's style, which celebrated the industrial world. This work is housed in the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, France.
