Ball bearing 1926

"Ball Bearing" (1926) by Fernand Léger is a prime example of his Cubist style, which he developed in the early 20th century. The painting's geometric forms and bold colors are reminiscent of machines and industrial objects, reflecting Léger's fascination with the modern world. The composition is divided into two sections, with a prominent circular form on the right resembling a machine part, suggesting the influence of the industrial revolution on art. Léger's use of primary colors and contrasting lines creates a sense of dynamism and energy, while the simplification of forms emphasizes their geometric structure.
