Still life 1914

"Still Life" by Fernand Léger, created in 1914, is a prime example of Cubist still life. The artwork depicts a jumble of geometric shapes, representing everyday objects like books, jugs, and bowls, fractured and reassembled in a way that breaks from traditional perspective. Léger’s characteristic use of bold, flat colors and thick outlines, inspired by the industrial world, creates a vibrant and dynamic composition. The work embodies a sense of dynamism and fragmented reality, reflecting the rapid changes of the early 20th century.
