REFLECTIONS

In Leger’s Contrast of Forms, the use of primary and secondary colors with the accents of black and white pigments intensified by the pure rawness of the paint on the canvas. Thus, creating a rhythm of vertical forms into stack bodies that reads like music in comparison to a narrative piece. Leger’s sketchy and crude style of painting examined both paint and canvas in a practical sense that structure forms into a visual space that gives color a primary role. Moreover, he de-emphasized lines by using pigments as a driving force for the painting. In conclusion, Leger used color to reference forms into a recognizable figure that could be identified.
