The star 1936

"The Star" (1936) by Fernand Léger is a vibrant example of the artist's signature style of geometric abstraction. The painting features bold, contrasting colors, simplified forms, and a dynamic arrangement of shapes. The composition is centered on a white circle with a black eye-like shape, surrounded by intersecting lines and curves in yellow, red, green, and blue. Léger's works often reflect his fascination with modern technology and the machine aesthetic, and "The Star" embodies this interest through its simplified forms and clear outlines. The painting is currently on display at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
