The artwork titled “Builder, character in the framework” is created by artist Fernand Léger, a prominent figure associated with the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. The work, which is a sketch and study, measures 77 cm in height and 52.5 cm in width. Currently, the artwork is housed in the Musée National Fernand Léger located in Biot, France.
The artwork portrays a figure of a builder captured amidst a structural framework, depicted in bold black lines against the stark white background. The builder, adorned in a striped shirt and a cap, is framed by the geometric and linear composition, characteristic of Léger’s style. The simplicity and clarity of lines, combined with the robust form of the builder, reflect the artist’s focus on industrial and mechanical themes. The figure’s pose, with one arm raised, imbues the artwork with a sense of dynamism and interaction within the structural space.
