About Fernand Léger
Fernand Léger (1881–1955) was a French modern painter who was one of the leading figures of the early 20th century. While influenced by Cubism, he established his own unique style, known for his powerful forms based on the **"contrast" of form, color, and volume**.
After his experience in World War I, he developed a "mechanical style" that incorporated modern motifs such as machines and cities. After the war, his work evolved into more vibrant colors and voluminous human figures, creating clear and vital canvases.
He was active in a wide range of fields, including not only painting but also murals, stage design, and collaborations with architecture, leaving a significant mark on the development of modern art.
