Man and Woman is an oil-on-canvas painting executed in 1921 by the French artist Fernand Léger.

The painting is a cubist portrait of a man and a woman locked in a passionate embrace at odds with their depersonalized, industrialized setting.

[1] Léger rejected many aspects of cubism, such as multiple simultaneous vantage points, but retained the trait of reducing figures to their most basic, geometric components.

To that end, the woman in this painting consists of curves and the color orange, while the man is depicted in columns and blue.

The disjointed figures force rapid visual shifts, which simulates the increasing sensory complexity of the machine age.
