Fernand Léger (1881–1955) was a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker associated with Cubism and later modernist abstraction. His work is characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes, and mechanical themes, making him one of the pioneers of modern art in the early 20th century.
Artistic Style & Evolution:
Early Cubism (1910s): Influenced by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Léger developed a unique version of Cubism, focusing on cylindrical and machine-like forms—often called "Tubism."
Machine Aesthetic (1920s): Fascinated by industrial society, he depicted workers, factories, and urban life in a bold, mechanical style.
Color & Contrast (1930s-1950s): He introduced vibrant primary colors, contrasting with black outlines and dynamic compositions, moving towards modernist abstraction.
Social Realism (1940s-50s): Later in life, he embraced social themes, portraying workers and ordinary life with a sense of optimism and energy.
His pieces are displayed in museums, galleries, and private collections worldwide.
