The artwork named “Still Life” was created by Fernand Léger in 1922. This piece belongs to the Cubism movement and is a still life genre painting.
The artwork presents an array of objects arranged on a circular table. Dominating the scene are several dark green leaves rising above the other elements, providing a backdrop that contrasts with the geometric and colorful components in the foreground. At the center is a vessel with bold, zigzagged white patterns and horizontal blue stripes. Scattered around the table are various items including what appears to be cutlery, bowls, and abstract shapes, all depicted in a manner that emphasizes form and color over realistic representation. The composition is framed by a black and white checkered background with red accents, adhering to the Cubist style’s characteristic fragmented and abstract forms. The overall effect is one of harmonized complexity, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interplay of shapes and hues.
