“The Face (Face and Hands)” is an artwork by the artist Fernand Leger, associated with the Cubism art movement. This portrait measures 42 x 38 cm and is currently housed in the Musee National Fernand Leger in Biot, France.
The artwork features a stylized rendering of a face, partially obscured by hands, executed in a distinctly Cubist style. The use of simple, flowing lines creates a dynamic interplay between the face and hands, inviting contemplation of the form and its abstraction. The color palette is subdued, emphasizing the form and structure of the subject rather than vivid hues, and highlighting the textural quality of the medium. The overall effect is both modern and timeless, reflecting Leger’s unique approach to Cubism.
