The Stove 1918

Fernand Léger's 1918 painting, "The Stove", exemplifies Cubist principles. The work is characterized by fragmented forms, geometric shapes, and bold color. The subject, a stove, is depicted in a simplified, abstract manner. Léger, a prominent figure in the Cubist movement, utilized this style to explore the dynamism and energy of modern life, focusing on the industrial and technological advancements of the time. The painting's fragmented composition and vibrant colors create a sense of movement and dynamism, reflecting the spirit of a rapidly changing world.
