La Chaise jaune 1946

"La Chaise Jaune" (The Yellow Chair), a 1946 oil painting by Fernand Léger, is a bold example of Cubism, a style he helped define in the early 20th century. The composition is fragmented and geometric, with a yellow chair as the central focus. Léger's signature use of bright, primary colors adds to the dynamism of the work, which evokes a sense of movement and energy. The simplified forms and flat planes contribute to the artwork's abstract quality, reflecting Léger's interest in the machine age and the human form.
