Les deux clowns 1953

Fernand Léger's 1953 "Les deux clowns" is an iconic example of the artist's Cubist style. The artwork depicts two clowns, one in blue and one in green, rendered in Léger's characteristic bold lines and vibrant colors. The composition is dynamic, with figures appearing fragmented and overlapping. The clowns are positioned against a background of geometric shapes and stripes, emphasizing the flatness of the canvas and creating a sense of rhythm and movement. "Les deux clowns" captures the energy and spectacle of the circus, highlighting Léger's fascination with everyday life and modern society.
