the birds fernand leger

the birds fernand legerIn The Birds, Fernand Lger creates a highly dynamic image composed of curves, colourful shapes and birds in motion. The white silhouettes of the birds stand out sharply against the intense red background, whilst yellow and blue shapes intertwine around them, like ribbons or stylised plants. The overall effect conveys a sense of continuous movement, as if the scene were animated by the wind or the flight of the birds. This work belongs to Lgers late

reflecting her inner isolation

The upper background is dark

an intense marine painting

particularly in the treatment of the women strolling beneath parasols — a motif both painters explored in parallel

illuminates the entire scene evenly

beautifully arranged in a vase

dressed in white with long blonde hair tied with a blue ribbon

this De la Fresnaye painting features a man and a woman

motherhood

immediately draws the eye and becomes almost as important as the figure itself

evoking the light and brilliance of Byzantine mosaics

This work by Claude Monet is bathed in dark emerald green
