Fernand Leger. Famous works. Inspired by a true story, Invincible recounts the last 48 hours in the life of Marc-Antoine Bernier, a 14-year-old boy on a desperate quest for freedom. ‘The Woman with the armchair’ was created in 1913 by Fernand Leger in Tubism style.

Léger’s 1921 painting calls upon classical depictions of the female nude. The female figure’s static, frontal pose recalls sources from Assyrian or Egyptian sculpture, and a renewed interest in modeling to suggest bodily form and dimension references the history of Western painting.
Blending modernity with enduring forms from the past, the stylized poses and friezelike arrangement of Léger’s Purist-period women were influenced by the Egyptian and Assyrian art he saw at the Musée du Louvre, which had been removed for safety during World War I and reinstalled in January 1919.
Léger uses a series of curves to depict the volumes of a female nude standing in three-quarter profile, with her right arm bent behind her head. Léger considered this drawing important enough to exhibit at the annual Salon des Indépendants in spring 1913.
