Abstraction 1936

"Abstraction" (1936) by Fernand Léger is a prime example of the artist's signature style of Cubist Abstraction. The painting showcases a dynamic composition of geometric shapes and bold colors that interlock and overlap. Léger's simplified forms and use of primary colors contribute to the vibrant energy of the work. The abstract elements, reminiscent of machinery, are suggestive of modern life and the industrial revolution, a recurring theme in Léger's artistic practice.
