ATTRIBUTED TO FERNAND LEGER MOTHER CHILD OIL PAINTING
Attributed to Fernand Joseph Henri Leger, French, 1881 to 1955, oil painting on canvas, Mother and Child, 1954. Signed and dated, lower right. The picture shows Legers ambition to create humane and uncomplicated art. The pair face the viewer and resemble a secular Madonna and Child, the boy holding a flowering branch like a saintly symbol, and image representing the desire for a peaceful world in the same way Picasso used a dove in 1949. Joseph Fernand Henri Leger was a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker. In his early works he created a personal form of cubism known as tubism which he gradually modified into a more figurative, populist style. His boldly simplified treatment of modern subject matter has caused him to be regarded as a forerunner of pop art. One of a kind artwork.
