Contrast of forms 1914

"Contrast of Forms" (1914) by Fernand Léger is a prime example of Cubist art. The painting, composed of geometric shapes in a limited color palette of blue, white, yellow, and red, emphasizes the interplay of form and color. Léger's Cubist style, characterized by the fragmentation and abstraction of objects, reflects the dynamism of modern life and the influence of industrialization on contemporary society. This painting's bold and simplified forms create a sense of rhythm and movement, highlighting Léger's exploration of the visual language of modernism.
