About Two Women (Two Sisters)

The artwork titled “Two Women (Two Sisters)” was created by the artist Fernand Léger in 1935. This piece belongs to the Cubism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study. It is currently housed at the Musée National Fernand Léger, located in Biot, France.

The artwork depicts two standing women rendered in Léger’s distinctive style. As a Cubist sketch, it showcases simplified forms and clear, defined lines that are characteristic of Léger’s approach. The figures appear robust and solid, with an interplay of bold contours that outlines their forms. The women are depicted in a somewhat monumental manner, reflecting Léger’s fascination with industrial and mechanical themes, which often translated into his depictions of human figures. The simplicity of the drawing, using black lines on a white background, emphasizes the volume and solidity of the figures, creating a sense of presence and solidarity. One of the women holds a bouquet of flowers, adding a delicate element to the otherwise strong composition.
