La Roue bleue, état définitif 1920

"La Roue bleue, état définitif" (1920) by Fernand Léger exemplifies the artist's signature Cubist style, characterized by geometric shapes, bold colors, and fragmented forms. The painting's dynamism is heightened by its use of overlapping planes and vibrant hues, particularly the prominent blue wheel that dominates the composition. The simplified forms, reminiscent of machinery, reflect Léger's fascination with the modern world and its technological advancements. This iconic artwork reflects a shift in the artist's focus from the human figure to the exploration of abstract forms and machine-like elements.
