Fernand Léger

French, 1881–1955

Fernand Léger (1881–1955) war ein französischer Maler, Bildhauer und Filmemacher, geboren in Argentan, Nieder-Normandie. Zunächst als Architekt ausgebildet, zog er 1900 nach Paris und begann später im Alter von 25 Jahren ernsthaft zu malen. Léger entwickelte eine markante Form des Kubismus, die als "Tubismus" bekannt ist und durch zylindrische Formen gekennzeichnet ist, bevor er zu einem figurativeren und populistischeren Stil überging. Seine vereinfachten Darstellungen des modernen Lebens führten zu seiner Anerkennung als Vorläufer der Pop-Art.
