Fernand Léger (1881 – 1955)

Francouzský kubista známý tubismem a rytmickými, mechanickými tvary inspirovanými érou strojů a pulzujícími neonovými světly New Yorku.

The Composition of Reading

Created in 1948, Reading is a portrait that captures a moment within an interior space. The painting features a woman sitting on the floor with her legs crossed, focused on a book she is holding. Nearby, a dining table is visible, accompanied by a chair. Within the room, two other individuals are present: one person stands near the top left corner, while another is positioned towards the right side of the image.

The scene contains various scattered objects that populate the environment. On the dining table, a cup can be seen, and a bottle is placed nearby. In addition to the book held by the woman, another book is located closer to the right side of the composition.

Style and Details

The artwork is rendered in the Naïve Art (Primitivism) style. The visual elements are characterized by:

  • Bold lines and simplified shapes
  • A harmonious blend of form and color
  • The inclusion of specific objects such as a jar and a clock
