Le pêcheur 1921

"Le pêcheur" (1921) is a pencil drawing by the French artist Fernand Léger. It depicts a fisherman with a fishing rod in the foreground, standing in a landscape of geometrically simplified trees and other objects. The artist's characteristic Cubist style, evident in the use of fragmented forms and flat planes, makes it clear that Léger was not interested in depicting a realistic scene but rather in exploring the formal qualities of shapes and lines.
