Le Vase jaune 1946

"Le Vase Jaune" (1946) by Fernand Léger, a prominent figure in the Cubist movement, is a vibrant still life showcasing Léger’s signature style of geometric forms and bold color. Composed of a vase, a fan of papers, and a skeletal branch, Léger simplifies the forms of these objects into flattened, geometric shapes rendered in bright, contrasting colors. This work exemplifies Léger's distinctive approach to depicting everyday objects in a simplified, stylized manner, embodying the Cubist principle of breaking down objects into their basic geometric forms.
