L'œuvre en bref
In The Woman in Blue, Fernand Léger fragments the figure to the point of making it almost disappear in a tangle of geometric planes. The body is broken up into angular facets, mixed with cylindrical volumes and curved surfaces. The intense blue of the garment structures the composition in the centre, contrasting with the whites, ochres and reds that intertwine around it.
Painted in the early 1910s, the work belongs to Léger's Cubist period, marked by an in-depth exploration of the decomposition of forms. Influenced by the research of Picasso and Braque, the artist nevertheless developed a more volumetric style, in which the figures retain a certain mechanical solidity. The woman is not represented in a descriptive manner; she becomes a set of dynamic volumes, integrated into a complex architecture of lines and planes.
