L’homme au melon 1943 - 1944

"L'homme au melon" (1943-1944) by Fernand Léger is a prime example of the artist's signature Cubist style. The painting is characterized by its bold geometric shapes, vibrant colors, and simplified forms, notably seen in the figure of a man with a melon, depicted in a distinctive, fragmented style. Léger's Cubist compositions often explore the interplay of shapes and colors, reflecting his fascination with the machine age and its influence on modern life.
