Fernand Léger (1881-1955)
Born 1881 in Argentan, Fernand Léger initially worked as an architectural draftsman. After his military service he attended the École des Arts Décoratifs and the Académie Julian in Paris from 1903 to 1994. A first important artistic influence exerted the works by Paul Cézanne, later on Léger developed an idiosyncratic, reduced-cubistic style. Fascinated by the power and beauty of modern technology, after the First World War the artist came to a hard geometrically defined and monumental representation of objects such as gears or crankshafts in which man also was included as a machine-like object. Surrealism also had a significant impact on work of Fernand Léger in the 1930s and 1940s. (tm)
