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.

He responded to this world with dynamic, colorful, and monumental works of art, becoming one of the great painters of The Twentieth Century.
