This print shows a person sitting in a chair. The figure is made of bold shapes—big circles for the head and torso, sharp lines for the limbs. Colors are flat: black, yellow, red, and blue blocks with no shading. The artist used simple shapes to make the body look modern. The lines are clean, and the colors pop against the white background. Next, check out Fernand Léger for more of his bold, geometric style.
