"Study for Le Disque" is a 1918 work by the French artist Fernand Léger. It is a study for his larger painting, "Le Disque," a work that would become influential for its bold geometric forms and vibrant colors. Léger's use of color, shape, and space in "Study for Le Disque" explores the principles of Cubism, which influenced his work throughout his career. The artwork is characterized by its use of flat geometric planes and bold, contrasting colors. This study demonstrates Léger's exploration of composition and his commitment to the reduction of objects to their essential forms.
