Fernand Léger, Mona Lisa with Keys, 1930
Part of the Fernand Léger National Museum’s collection, Mona Lisa with Keys results from the artist’s extensive research that concludes the series of objects in space. In a vein close to surrealistic explorations, the contrasts of meaning, color, and form challenge the iconic nature of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Mona Lisa and embody the artist’s credo: to create art of his time, accessible to all, and engaging equally with the dynamism of modern aesthetics.

In the 1960s, Land art artists directly engaged with nature instead of representing it: artworks integrated into the landscape left galleries and lost their commercial value to offer a total experience.
