Troncs d’arbres 1951

"Troncs d’arbres" (Tree Trunks) was created in 1951 by Fernand Léger, a prominent figure in the Cubist movement. This artwork showcases Léger's signature style of simplified forms and bold colors, creating a visually striking composition. The artist breaks down the subject matter into geometric shapes, highlighting the essential elements of the tree trunks and their surroundings. The contrasting colors of black, white, and orange create a dynamic visual rhythm, typical of Léger's work in the later stages of his career. This piece reflects Léger's exploration of form and color in the context of everyday objects, a characteristic that defines his artistic legacy.
