Fernand Léger’s ‘Tête de femme (Figure II)’, a highlight of our 20th Century Week in New York, was painted after his return to France in 1945, following 5 years of wartime exile. The return to his homeland marked a period of intense creativity for the artist. #Christies20thCentury
.
In this work, Léger reduces the face to lines, volume and colour, with no sense of personal individuality. ‘The human figure remains purposely inexpressive,’ the artist once said, emphasising his desire to break away from sentimentality.
