La Femme Aux Cheveux Noirs 1950

"La Femme Aux Cheveux Noirs" (1950), a bold black and white ink drawing on paper by Fernand Léger, depicts a woman's face partially obscured by her hands. Léger, known for his Cubist and geometric style, uses thick lines and simplified forms to create a striking and powerful composition. The use of black and white emphasizes the strong lines and contrasts, characteristic of Léger's artistic vision. The artwork exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue, with the woman's obscured face inviting the viewer to contemplate her thoughts and emotions.
