La Gare de Verdun 1915 - 1916

"La Gare de Verdun" (1915-1916) is a Cubist drawing by Fernand Léger. It depicts the train station in Verdun, France, a key battleground during World War I. Léger's signature style of fragmented geometric shapes and bold lines dominates the composition, capturing the urban landscape's chaotic energy. This work reflects the artist's fascination with the mechanical and industrial aspects of modern life, while also hinting at the war's brutal reality.
