L'œuvre en bref
In The Builders, Fernand Léger depicts workers labouring on a metal structure high above the ground, surrounded by beams, ladders and steel components that form a veritable architecture of lines and volumes. The figures appear solid and calm despite the height and complexity of the construction site. The blue sky and clouds contrast with the rigidity of the metal structures, creating a scene that is both industrial and almost poetic.
This work reflects Léger’s interest in the working class and in the construction of the modern world. After the war, he took a keen interest in workers, building sites, machinery and architecture, which he saw as symbols of a new society. He depicts workers in a monumental and dignified manner, almost as modern heroes, participating in the construction of the contemporary world.
