Les trois femmes au bouquet 1922

"Les trois femmes au bouquet" (1922) by Fernand Léger is a prime example of the artist's signature style, characterized by bold, geometric shapes and vibrant colors. The painting depicts three women arranged in a composition reminiscent of a cubist still life, their simplified forms and flattened perspective emphasizing the interplay of colors and planes. Léger's fascination with the mechanical and the modern is evident in the stylized figures, which appear almost machine-like in their geometric abstraction. This work, typical of Léger's "tubist" period, showcases his exploration of the interplay between figuration and abstraction, reflecting his artistic shift towards a more simplified and formal aesthetic.
