The Wedding by Fernand Leger
Cubism learned a lesson or two when Fernand Leger’s The Wedding hit. In fact, many art historians joke that this painting introduced Tubism… because reality curves into glorious tubes in this remarkable work. As abstracted as it is, we know what it’s like at this wedding. The bride’s pale body luxuriates across the canvas in luscious hints to the night ahead. This sensual aspect contrasts the strident excitement of wedding activity. These elements intersect, combat, and parallel throughout the work. It feels like a carnival. Fernand was a big fan of the circus and it shows. He creates order too, though. Leger differentiates the space with consistent groupings of shapes, color and texture.
