Nature morte bleue et jaune 1938

"Nature morte bleue et jaune" (1938) by Fernand Léger exemplifies the artist's signature Cubist style, using geometric forms and bold colors to depict a still life. The work's composition is characterized by flat, angular planes and a limited palette of blue, yellow, white, black, and red, creating a sense of graphic simplicity and dynamic balance. Léger's bold and simplified forms challenge traditional still life representation, reflecting the influence of modern life and machine aesthetics on his artistic vision. The painting exemplifies Léger's fascination with everyday objects, transformed into stylized and abstract motifs.
