Fernand Leger ( 1881 - 1955 ) The French born painter, sculptor, and filmmaker is known for creating his own unique form of Cubism which he gradually modified into a more figurative, populist style. His bold simplified treatment of modern subject matter has regarded him as one of the most important forerunner artists of Pop Art. Artworks by Leger are included in the collections of many of the world's most prestigious museums.
More than any other artist of his time, Leger had his finger on the pulse of Modern Life. His primary influence was The Modern Age itself, with its cities, factories, advertising posters and billboards, and great masses of people working and playing. He responded to this world with dynamic, colorful, and monumental works of art, becoming one of the great painters of The Twentieth Century.
