La Lecture / 1924 by Fernand Léger. A painter of machines, industry and urban life, Fernand Léger was a highly personal Cubist, who also anticipated Futurism, Art Deco and Pop Art. The artist was born into a French peasant family and began working as an architectural draughtsman. He did not get a place at the Beaux-Arts, but was a regular visitor to the Louvre and the Impressionist galleries, where he probably learned the most. Like Picasso and Braque, his life changed when he discovered Cézanne, but he moved away from orthodox Cubism to give it his own colouring and a subject matter oriented towards the iconography of the machine. Artefacts and robots, turned into cylinders and cones, are the perfect portrait of those early years of the 20th century, a new and dehumanised world. With primary colours, he sometimes reaches an abstract structure of geometrical forms, but he never completely departs from the figurative. He does not seek to make an apology for the machine, but rather a communion between the machine and the organic, achieving a unique, aesthetic and harmonious style; modern and classical at the same time. He also cultivated other arts such as cinema, theatre and stained glass. Measurements: 70 x 50 cm. All posters are original and have been selected by art lovers for art lovers. Collector's item.
