Their story
Fernand Léger [leʒe] was a French painter, sculptor, graphic artist, ceramist and film director. His early work is classified as cubism. In his works after the Second World War his painting style changed. From the 1920s onwards he increasingly integrated figurative elements into his paintings. Léger's late work had an influence on American Pop Art painters, such as Roy Lichtenstein.
