Composition mécanique 1918

Fernand Léger's "Composition mécanique," a Cubist work from 1918, depicts an abstracted arrangement of mechanical parts. Léger, a pioneer of the movement, was fascinated by the industrial world and sought to portray its dynamism and power through art. The piece, executed in ink and watercolor on paper, utilizes geometric forms and bold black lines to create a sense of depth and movement, showcasing the artist's interest in the beauty of machines and the industrial age.
