Additional Information

In the years following World War Two, Léger painted several works using sections of his 1948-9 painting Leisure - Homage to Louis David, a work which used cycling as a motif to portray an idealised, peaceful society. In this painting, Léger depicts the figures from the left hand of the original, taking away the colours of their skin and replacing it with the brightly coloured rectangular shapes characteristic of his work from this period.
