The artwork titled “People framework (Manufacturers),” created by Fernand Léger, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This portrait, measuring 77.5 x 52.5 cm, is held in the collections of the Musée National Fernand Léger in Biot, France.
In the artwork, Fernand Léger employs stark black lines to outline a figure that appears both geometric and expressive. The subject is a man donned in work attire, highlighted by a suit, tie, and cap, and is depicted in a seated position with one arm raised. The composition utilizes bold shapes and structural elements that interlace with the figure, creating a dynamic interplay between man and framework. The linear quality and simplified forms reflect Léger’s signature style, emphasizing industrial themes and the human figure within an abstract, mechanical environment.
