La Jeune Fille À L’échelle 1949

"La Jeune Fille À L’échelle" (1949) by Fernand Léger, showcases the artist's signature Cubist style. The painting features a simplified, geometric representation of a young woman holding a ladder, with a dove and a partially visible figure on the right. Léger's use of bold, flat colors and simplified forms creates a sense of dynamism and abstraction, characteristic of his later works. The bright yellow background and contrasting primary colors further contribute to the painting's vibrant and graphic aesthetic. This artwork represents the transition of Léger's artistic approach, blending his early Cubist interests with a more simplified and expressive style, which became characteristic of his later works.
