Fernand Léger first saw the work of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso at the Paris gallery of Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. Around 1909 Léger began to paint in a Cubist style, although his compositions in this mode are more colorful and curvilinear than works by Braque and Picasso of the same period, with their angular forms and subdued tones. An artist with far-ranging interests and talents, Léger later became a designer for theater, opera, and ballet, as well as a book illustrator, filmmaker, muralist, ceramist, and teacher. Typically, Léger would develop a major composition by preparing studies in a variety of media. The Railway Crossing is an oil study for The Level Crossing (1919; private collection, Basel, Switzerland). When he took up this subject in 1919, he made a number of drawings and oil sketches, including the present work. Like many of his contemporaries, Léger was fascinated by the machine age. He maintained that machines and industrial objects were as important to his art as figures. References to such elements pervade The Railway Crossing. In the midst of a complex scaffolding of cylinders and beams, an arrow appears on a brightly outlined signboard. A network of solid volumes and flat forms seems to circulate within the shallow space, just as pistons move within a motor. The precise definition of his forms and the brilliance of his palette express Léger’s belief that the machine, along with the age it created, was one of the triumphs of modern civilization.

Mexican artist Diego Rivera painted this in Paris during his Cubist period, and it is also a candid portrait of his life there. A standing woman is his first wife, the artist Angelina Beloff, speaking with their friend and fellow artist Alma Dolores Bastián (nicknamed “Moucha”), who is seated. The setting is tied to their Montparnasse building at 26, Rue du Départ for an everyday studio world reframed through the avant-garde grammar of multiple viewpoints and flattened space. The two women fill a tall canvas built from crisp, interlocking planes. At left, Alma, in a white dress, reclines in a chair. Her bent arm and hands gather around a small book, its warm cover a rare block of earthy color amid cool grays. At right, Angelina, in a deep blue dress, leans slightly forward, hands clasped at her waist as if pausing mid-thought. Their faces, hair, and bodies are “broken” into facets with cheeks, collarbones, and sleeves suggested through angled shapes rather than smooth contour … so we experience them as both people and architecture. Behind the two ladies, a simplified Paris skyline rises in stacked blocks, turning rooftops and walls into a rhythmic backdrop. The mood is intimate but unsentimental showing two artists sharing space, attention, and conversation inside a modern city that feels close enough to press against the figures. The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts notes Rivera looked out on a “vast sea of rooftops” with a “rumble of trains” nearby, a sensory detail that fits the painting’s angular pulse of city and motion. The work’s comparatively lighter palette hints at Rivera’s next turn when he moved away from abstraction and toward socially legible imagery. Within a few years, shaped by revolution and the impact of Italian frescoes, he redirected his ambition into murals meant for broad public audiences, carrying this hard-won modern structure into storytelling about workers, politics, and Mexican history.

Beginning in 1900, young painters and sculptors of all nationalities migrated to the Paris neighborhood of Montparnasse, the city’s hub of avant-garde activity. Despite their different approaches and interests, the artists of the so-called School of Paris fostered an inspiring climate of imaginative cross-fertilization that helped to sustain the idea of Paris as the center of artistic activity until the beginning of World War II. Jacques Lipchitz moved to Paris in 1909, and through his friendships with Diego Rivera, Pablo Picasso, and others, he participated in the Cubist movement. His bas-reliefs and sculptures in the round communicate the geometric and fractured forms and the favored subject matter (musicians and seated bathers, for example) of contemporary Cubist paintings.

"Les trois danseuses" (The Three Dancers), painted in 1925, is a major work by Pablo Picasso that belongs to his Surrealist period. The painting depicts three female figures in a dancing pose, but represented in an extremely abstract and distorted manner, typical of Picasso's Cubist style. The bright colours and angular shapes create an impression of intense movement and dynamism. This work is interpreted as a complex exploration of passion, desire and jealousy, recurring themes in Picasso's work. The arrangement of the figures and the bold use of colour and form break with traditional conventions, offering a more emotional and psychological view of reality. "The Three Dancers is considered a powerful illustration of Picasso's creative genius, fusing Cubism and Surrealism to express the depths of human experience.

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish expatriate painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer. He was one of the greatest and most-influential artists of the 20th century and the creator (with Georges Braque) of Cubism.
