About this work

The painting "Two Women with Flowers" by Fernand Léger features two women standing side by side, facing forward. They are dressed in long, flowing dresses with their hair styled in a bob. The woman on the left holds a vase with flowers, while the woman on the right has her hands clasped together in front of her. The background is a mix of geometric shapes and lines in various colors, including orange, yellow, black, and white. The painting's style is characterized by its use of bold colors and geometric forms, which were hallmarks of the Cubist movement. The women's faces are simplified and abstracted, with minimal features. The painting's use of bold colors and geometric forms makes it a great example of Cubist art.
