Composition with Vine
1929
Oil on canvas
Around 1910 Fernand Léger was one of the first artists to embrace modernist concepts of abstraction and the mechanical. His work shifted in 1926 to strange still-lifes that mixed figurative, arboreal, and tabletop motifs. As he said at the time, "At this moment, in the spirit of the modern artist, a cloud, a machine, a tree are elements of the same interest as personages or figures." Gift of Sidney and Anne Gerber Object number 65.166
