Fernand Léger

Fernand Léger was a French painter who made a unique contribution to Cubism. Along with Pablo Picasso and Georges BraqueLéger crafted idiosyncratic methods of depicting three-dimensional objects in pictorial space. “I organize the opposition between colors, lines, and curves,” he said of painting. “I set curves against straight lines, patches of color against plastic forms, pure colors against subtly nuanced shades of gray.”
