The House in the trees 1913

"The House in the Trees" (1913) by Fernand Léger is a prime example of Cubist art. The painting displays Léger's signature style, featuring simplified geometric shapes and bold, contrasting colors. The artist breaks down the traditional depiction of a house and trees into geometric forms, emphasizing the structure and volume of the subject matter. Through this fragmentation and reconstruction, Léger creates a dynamic and abstract composition that reflects the rapid modernization of society during the early 20th century. The work stands as a testament to Léger's contribution to Cubism and his exploration of the human experience in a rapidly changing world.
