The artwork titled “Reading,” created by Fernand Léger in 1948, is a notable piece from the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This portrait genre artwork is housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France. The composition presents a figure engaged in the act of reading, rendered with Léger’s characteristic use of bold lines and simplified shapes, emphasizing a harmonious blend of form and color. The surroundings include distinct objects, like a jar and clock, delineated in the same abstract style, establishing a balanced yet dynamic composition.
