Les Maisons 1922

"Les Maisons" (1922) by Fernand Léger is a prime example of the artist's signature Cubist style. This painting features a simplified, geometric rendering of buildings in a vibrant palette of primary colors and contrasting black and white. Léger's signature use of bold, flat planes and outlines creates a sense of dynamism and movement, characteristic of his artistic vision. The Cubist aesthetic, with its emphasis on geometric forms and fragmented perspectives, reflects Léger's interest in the rapidly evolving urban landscape of the early 20th century.
