“The Woman and the Flower,” created by Fernand Léger in 1954, is a portrait belonging to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This artwork is housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
The artwork depicts a stylized portrait of a woman positioned beside a flowering plant. The composition features bold outlines and a simplified color palette, embodying the Naïve Art aesthetic. The woman is adorned with a necklace and wears a multi-colored garment with prominent yellow, blue, and black patterns. The plant beside her is illustrated with abstract, flowing lines and a mix of green and brown hues, with blossoms accentuated in yellow. The overall piece conveys an impression of simplicity and directness, characteristic of Léger’s later works.
