Fernand Leger was a French painter and sculptor who pioneered the movement known as tubism. He began his career as an architectural draftsman before becoming a central figure in the development of modern art in Paris. His work celebrated the machine age and the beauty of industrial objects through bold outlines and unmodulated primary colors. He remained dedicated to creating art that was accessible to the general public, often focusing on themes of urban life and labor.
