La Roue de l’échelle 1947

"La Roue de l’échelle" (1947) by Fernand Léger is an example of the artist's distinctive style of Cubist-inspired painting. The artwork features a bold, geometric composition of a wheel, ladder, and stylized floral elements, rendered in vibrant colors. The flat, two-dimensional forms are juxtaposed to create a sense of depth and dynamism, highlighting Léger's fascination with the interplay of industrial and organic elements. The painting showcases Léger's signature use of bold lines, contrasting colors, and simplified shapes, characteristic of his later works and his exploration of the relationship between art and modern life.
