Artist
Fernand Léger
1881–1955 · French
Fernand Léger absorbed Cubism but quickly developed a more robust language of cylindrical bodies, mechanical forms and sharply separated color. His art moved between the machine age, urban spectacle, film, public mural and monumental images of workers and leisure.
