Deux femmes aux aldes 1937

Fernand Léger made "Deux femmes aux aldes" a painting with bold colours and simplified forms. It's like he’s building with shapes. The process feels more about construction than representation. Notice how Léger uses flat planes of colour, outlined in black, almost like stained glass. The paint isn't trying to trick you into thinking it's something else. It’s honest, and stays true to its material nature. The red form with blue beside it feels like a deliberate choice, almost daring you to make sense of it. It is pushing the limits of our imagination. Léger’s work feels like an ongoing conversation with artists like Picasso and Matisse, but he brings an industrial edge to the party. It’s a reminder that art doesn’t have to be a mirror. It can be a window, a playground, and a question mark all rolled into one.
