About the piece

Painted in 1914, this work exemplifies Fernand Léger’s 'Tubist' style, where mechanical and cylindrical forms are fragmented into a rhythmic, abstract composition. Using a bold palette of red, white, and blue, the piece captures the vibrant energy of the modern industrial age through a lens of revolutionary geometry.
