"Eléments métalliques" is a 1944 painting by Fernand Léger, a French artist known for his contributions to Cubism and his exploration of mechanical forms. This work displays Léger's signature style, characterized by bold geometric shapes, vibrant colors, and a simplified representation of objects. The composition features overlapping, fragmented forms, which create a sense of dynamism and movement. These forms, such as the blue shape, yellow form, and red frame, are reminiscent of industrial elements, reflecting Léger's fascination with the modern world and its technological advancements.
