Elément mécanique sur fond bleu 1945 - 1946

"Elément mécanique sur fond bleu" (Mechanical Element on a Blue Background) is a 1945-1946 oil painting by the French artist Fernand Léger. This Cubist artwork, characteristic of Léger's style, depicts a vibrant composition of geometric shapes, including a gear, a bolt, and a red circle. It emphasizes the industrial world and its machinery, a theme that Léger explored throughout his career. The bold colors and simplified forms make the image visually striking and contribute to its sense of dynamism.
