The Woman with the fruit dish 1924

"The Woman with the Fruit Dish" is a 1924 painting by Fernand Léger, a French artist known for his bold, geometric style. The painting features a woman sitting at a table with a large, red fruit bowl. Léger's use of vivid colors and simplified forms are characteristic of his Cubist approach, which emphasizes geometric shapes and flat planes. The stark, almost graphic rendering of the woman and the objects around her gives the painting a sense of monumentality. It is a prime example of Léger's distinctive style, a blend of Cubist fragmentation with an industrial aesthetic.
