The Cow and the Chair (Léger)

“The Cow and the Chair” is a charming work from Fernand Léger’s late style. It depicts a rural scene with a cow in the right foreground and a chair on the left, upon which rest a hat and a jacket. The style is graphic, dominated by thick black outlines and flat areas of bright color. The landscape is simplified into bands of green and ochre under a blue sky. Léger uses the dissociated color technique to create rhythm. It is a joyful and simplified vision of country life, a return to popular subjects.
