La statuette et le vase rouge 1951

"La statuette et le vase rouge" (1951) by Fernand Léger depicts a simplified still life with a bust and a potted plant. The Cubist style, characteristic of Léger's work, breaks down the forms and utilizes flat, geometric shapes with vibrant colors. The bold black outlines and simplified features lend a sense of graphic design to the composition, emphasizing the artist's interest in the modern world. The stark contrast of colors, especially the yellow and red accents, adds a sense of energy and vitality to the piece. This work exemplifies Léger's signature style, which balances the traditional themes of still life with modern abstraction.
