Leisure on red background 1949

"Leisure on Red Background," created in 1949 by Fernand Léger, portrays a group of figures engaged in leisure activities against a vibrant red backdrop. The composition features simplified forms and bold colors characteristic of Léger's style, known as "Tubism". The figures, rendered with geometric precision, are depicted in a relaxed and playful manner, suggesting a carefree atmosphere. Léger's use of contrasting colors, including black outlines, adds depth and dynamism to the work. "Leisure on Red Background," now housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France, captures the essence of leisure and the beauty of everyday life through Léger's distinctive artistic vision.
