LA FEUILLE ROUGE 1936

"LA FEUILLE ROUGE" (1936) is an oil on canvas painting by the renowned French artist Fernand Léger (1881-1955). The painting is a prime example of Léger's signature style of Cubism, featuring bold, simplified forms and a vibrant palette of colors. Geometric shapes, dynamic lines, and a simplified, almost cartoonish quality contribute to the overall effect of flattened planes and a sense of movement. Léger is known for his exploration of modern life and the impact of machinery on society, and this painting showcases these themes through its abstract representation. This artwork can be recognized by its distinctive red and yellow color scheme and the use of geometric shapes.
