La grande parade 1949

"La grande parade" is a 1949 painting by Fernand Léger, a prominent figure in the Cubist movement. The painting depicts a scene with figures in a parade, with a bold, simplified style characteristic of Léger's work. The figures are rendered in bright, flat colors and geometric forms, creating a sense of dynamism and energy. The composition is balanced and harmonious, and the overall effect is one of joy and celebration. The subject of the parade, a common motif in Léger's work, often symbolizes the rhythm of modern life and the collective spirit of humanity.
