The Game of Cards 1916

"The Game of Cards" (1916) by Fernand Léger is a Cubist drawing depicting three figures playing cards. Léger, known for his simplified forms and bold lines, breaks down the figures and objects into geometric shapes, emphasizing their structure and the play of light and shadow. This work exemplifies Léger's interest in depicting everyday scenes, often involving working-class people, with a sense of dynamism and monumentality.
