Étude pour Le campeur 1953

"Étude pour Le campeur" (1953) is a gouache and ink drawing by Fernand Léger. Characteristic of Léger's style, the composition is bold and geometric, featuring simplified forms and vibrant colors. The figures are depicted in a flattened, almost two-dimensional manner, recalling the Cubist movement, of which Léger was a pioneer. The work is a study for Léger's larger painting "Le Campeur", highlighting the artist's emphasis on the human form and its relationship to the surrounding environment. Léger's exploration of the human form in this study exemplifies his signature artistic approach - a blend of abstraction and representation.
