description

Fernand Léger's Les Constructeurs tapestry is a vibrant celebration of industrial progress and human labor. Based on one of his iconic paintings, the tapestry depicts a group of construction workers engaged in building activities, set against a dynamic backdrop of scaffolding and geometric forms. The bold, primary colors and rhythmic composition reflect Léger's fascination with machinery, modernity, and the collective energy of workers. This tapestry, created in collaboration with master weavers, translates his vision into a textured medium, highlighting the dignity and strength of the human figure amidst the forces of industry.
