<div>Fernand Léger’s "Composition orange et noir" (1937)—translated as "Orange and Black Composition"—marks a significant moment in the artist’s evolving exploration of form and subject matter. Painted during the 1930s, the work reflects Léger’s shift away from the rigid “mécanique” language of his earlier career toward more organic shapes and motifs, while still retaining the influence of industrial design. The composition is structured by bold bands of black, fawn brown, and orange, which create a circular framework. Yet within this framework, the interior elements strain against containment: pale brown cylinders evoke wooden logs, while loose black whips suggest seaweed, sticks, or leaves, imbuing the work with a sense of dynamic, natural movement. </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>This interplay between organic and inorganic elements recalls the found objects Léger collected during his walks on his farm in Normandy, translating everyday material forms into abstract pictorial language. At the same time, the work belongs to an important period of international recognition for the artist, when he was exhibiting prominently at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and at the Kunsthalle Zürich. "Composition orange et noir" thus encapsulates Léger’s unique ability to synthesize the mechanical and the natural into a unified, yet playfully experimental, vision.

"קומפוזיציה כתום ושחור" (1937) של פרננד לז'ה - שתורגם כ"קומפוזיציה כתומה ושחורה" - מסמנת רגע משמעותי בחקר הצורה והנושא המתפתח של האמן. היצירה, שצוירה בשנות ה-30 של המאה ה-20, משקפת את הסטתו של לז'ה מהשפה ה"מכנית" הנוקשה של הקריירה המוקדמת שלו לעבר צורות ומוטיבים אורגניים יותר, תוך שמירה על השפעת העיצוב התעשייתי. הקומפוזיציה בנויה על ידי פסים נועזים של שחור, חום בהיר וכתום, היוצרים מסגרת מעגלית. עם זאת, בתוך מסגרת זו, האלמנטים הפנימיים מתאמצים כנגד כליאה: גלילים חומים בהירים מזכירים בולי עץ, בעוד שוטים שחורים רופפים מרמזים על אצות, מקלות או עלים, ומעניקים ליצירה תחושה של תנועה דינמית וטבעית.





משחק גומלין זה בין אלמנטים אורגניים ואנאורגניים מזכיר את החפצים שנמצאו שלגר אסף במהלך טיוליו בחוותו בנורמנדי, תוך שהוא מתרגם צורות חומריות יומיומיות לשפה ציורית מופשטת. יחד עם זאת, היצירה שייכת לתקופה חשובה של הכרה בינלאומית עבור האמן, כאשר הציג בתערוכות בולטות במוזיאון לאמנות מודרנית בניו יורק ובקונסטהאלה ציריך. "קומפוזיציה כתום ושחור" (Composition orange et noir) מגלם אפוא את יכולתו הייחודית של לג'ר לסנתז את המכני והטבעי לחזון מאוחד, אך גם ניסיוני במשחקיות. היצירה כלולה בקטלוג הריאליזונה של האמן מאת ז'ורז' בוקי עבור עבודות בין השנים 1932-1937 כערך 934.
