Study for the two lovers 1955

"Study for the Two Lovers" is a 1955 black and white drawing by French artist Fernand Léger, who is known for his bold, geometric style and his exploration of modern life. The drawing features two figures, a man and a woman, rendered in simplified forms with thick outlines. The woman holds a stylized flower, adding a touch of organic detail to the otherwise geometric composition. The work is a study for a larger painting, reflecting Léger's interest in the interplay of form and color. This piece, housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France, exemplifies Léger's unique visual language, showcasing his fascination with the human figure and his ability to distill complex forms into essential elements.
