Fernand Léger (1881-1955) was a renowned French artist, born in Argent, Normandy. He first trained as an architect but quickly discovered his true passion for painting and art. Léger played a crucial role in the development of avant-garde movements in the early 20th century, particularly cubism and futurism. His distinctive style incorporated bold and geometric forms, as well as vibrant colors, reflecting the industrial and technological progress of his time. Léger’s work explored themes of modern life, urban landscapes, and the human figure, often representing simplified and machine-like forms. Alongside his paintings, he also ventured into cinema, theater, and book illustrations. Léger’s significant contributions to modern art continue to be celebrated and exhibited worldwide.
