L’homme au chandail 1940

"L’homme au chandail" (1940) by Fernand Léger is a Cubist painting featuring a man standing in an interior space. Léger's signature style is evident in the flat, geometric forms and bold colors. The man's figure is simplified, with distinct black outlines emphasizing his form and the surrounding objects. The painting’s composition demonstrates a sense of balance through the use of contrasting colors and geometric shapes. The piece embodies the artist's interest in celebrating the human figure within everyday life, as exemplified by the simple yet powerful image of the man.
