La parade sur fond jaune c. 1950

Fernand Léger's "La Parade sur fond jaune" from circa 1950 showcases the artist's signature style, featuring bold geometric shapes and vibrant colors. The composition depicts a lively scene with a group of circus performers, including a contortionist, a dancer, and a musician, all set against a bright yellow background, creating a dynamic and energetic feel. Léger's use of simplified forms and contrasting colors emphasizes the movement and energy of the performers, reflecting his fascination with the modern world and its dynamism. The work is a vibrant example of the artist's exploration of Cubist and Post-Cubist principles, showcasing his mastery of form and color.
