Fernand Léger was a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker, and one of the most important figures of modern art. Closely connected to Cubism, he developed his own distinctive style often called “machine art”, bold compositions with tubular forms, strong outlines, and bright, industrial colors inspired by modern city life and technology.

Léger was fascinated by machines, urban energy, and everyday people. Instead of fragmented Cubism like Picasso or Braque, he simplified figures into cylinders and geometric shapes, creating powerful, monumental images that felt modern and accessible.
