Geometric standards 1913

Fernand Léger's "Geometric Standards" (1913) is a prime example of Cubist abstraction. The artwork is characterized by its use of geometric shapes, bold colors, and a fragmented composition. Léger, known for his exploration of modern life and the machine aesthetic, employs a simplified visual language to depict the world in an entirely new way. The work's vibrant hues, predominantly reds, greens, and blues, create a dynamic and energetic rhythm that evokes the dynamism of industrial machinery and the energy of the modern city. This piece exemplifies Léger's unique style and his contribution to the Cubist movement.
