Painter
Fernand Léger
Came out of the trenches painting machinery and workers in flat primary colours, and said the war made him a different painter entirely.
Joseph Fernand Henri Léger was a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker. In his early works he created a personal form of cubism which he gradually modified into a more figurative, populist style. His boldly simplified treatment of modern subject matter has caused him to be regarded as a forerunner of pop art.
