Specialist note
‘If pictorial expression has changed, it is because modern life has necessitated it. The existence of modern creative people is much more intense and more complex than that of people in earlier centuries.‘
F. Léger, 1914, in E.F. Fry, ed., Functions of Painting, London, 1973, p. 11.
Deux femmes was executed in 1932, most likely in Paris. Despite being visually quite different, the drawing served as a study for the painting Les trois figures from the same year, belonging to the collection of the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
