What was Léger's theory of 'plastic originality'?
My concept of 'plastic originality' is about finding the inherent expressive qualities within the subject matter itself, rather than imposing a personal style. It involves understanding the structure, the contrast of forms, and the relationships between objects. For me, the true artistic value lies in revealing these fundamental plastic qualities – the solidity, the movement, the contrast – through a clear and direct visual language, often inspired by the forms found in industry and everyday tools.
