About this artwork
Le Remorqueur, also known as The Tug, is an oil painting on canvas by the French artist Fernand Léger, dated 1920. As the title tells us, its subject is a tugboat, a working vessel of the modern age. Léger was known for his boldly simplified treatment of modern subject matter, and that sense of clarity is a good way into this picture. The painting is held at the Museum of Grenoble, which bought it directly from the artist in 1928.
On your wall: Its modern, simplified approach to a working vessel suits contemporary living rooms, studies and offices, especially where a confident, graphic piece is wanted.

About Fernand Léger
Fernand Léger was a French painter, sculptor and filmmaker. He began by developing a personal form of cubism, then gradually moved towards a more figurative, populist style. His boldly simplified treatment of modern subjects has led many to see him as a forerunner of pop art.
