About Fernand Léger
Fernand Léger (1881–1955) was a leading French modern painter of the first half of the 20th century. While influenced by Cubism, he established his own unique style, known for his powerful forms based on **"contrast" in form, color, and volume.**
After experiencing World War I, he developed a "mechanical style" that incorporated modern motifs such as machines and cities. Post-war, his work evolved to more vibrant colors and voluminous human figures, creating clear and vital canvases.
He was active in a wide range of fields beyond painting, including murals, stage design, and collaborations with architecture, leaving a significant mark on the development of modern art.
