Special Edition Three: Modern Art Wing





Fernand Leger
Reclining Women
___________________________________________________

Craft: Oil on canvas
Concept: From the information section next to the painting, I found out that during this time in his career Fernand Leger was very interested in figure drawings.
Composition: What I find very interesting about this painting is really the simplisty of it. This painting uses a lot of semi bold colors and lines, and the technique of a gradiate. That really adds the 3 dimension of the painting, making this women look very round. The background is very busy but it complients colors and shape of the women.
