Image description

After serving in the French army during World War I, Léger embraced the beauty of modern machinery and dedicated his life to creating art for every social class. The experience inspired him to develop a personal style of precise forms influenced by Cubism, but one that also proclaims his optimistic faith in technological progress. This painting celebrates the courage of aviators and suggests the movement of a whirling propeller through abstract, planar shapes.
