Fernand Leger—The Greatest Painters of the World
Description
Fernand Léger was born in Normandy, but moved to Paris to study at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs. His first paintings were influenced by Impressionism, and later focused on mechanical elements that enabled him to render modern life. Moving to New York at the beginning of the Second World War, his “American period” was marked by an emphasis on contrasts.
