the mechanic fernand legerWith The Mechanic, Fernand Lger presents an emblematic figure of modern man, integrated into an industrial world. His style favours simplified volumes and a rigorous construction of space. Manual labour and machines become central themes, not to describe a specific situation, but to affirm the place of the worker in contemporary society. The figure is treated as an assembly of solid forms, in continuity with the mechanical elements that surround it.
