La joconde aux clés 1930

"La Joconde aux Clés" (1930), by the French artist Fernand Léger, is a Cubist interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's iconic Mona Lisa. Léger’s unique style is evident in the bold geometric forms, simplified shapes, and fragmented representation of the subject. The painting features a flat, two-dimensional portrayal of Mona Lisa, overlaid with a complex arrangement of keys, a fish, and geometric shapes, referencing the machinery and industrial advancements of the time. This piece is a prime example of Léger's fascination with the interplay between traditional art and modern life.
