The Three Musicians

From the distance looks and dark expressions the Trio would not be my first choice to have at a party. The Three Musicians is a popular masterpiece. It has been in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art for over half a century! Almost always on view you cant miss this masterpiece. In 1944 it was painted and it has stayed at the Museum of Modern Art since then.

Léger is the least recognized of the three founding Cubists. Picasso and Barque being the earlier creators. Léger’s Cubist works present traditional subjects such as still life, landscape and the figure.The Three Musicians, with its larger-than-life figures, is odd. “It is perhaps something apart,” Léger said.

I really do love this piece because it lets you think. Like what is the background of the trio and what have they done in there lives. By there expressions it makes them look like they have maybe killed someone or done something of that sort.The artist makes you feel that they are not just musicians. But everyone sees things differently post a comment below telling me what you see.
