ABOUT THE ARTIST
French, 1881 - 1955
One of the major Cubist painters in France in the early 20th Century, Fernand Léger, also became a sculptor, ceramist, art educator and filmmaker. He was born in Normandy where his father raised livestock, and originally studied to be a re-toucher of photographs and an architect's draughtsman. Between 1897 and 1899, he was apprenticed to an architect in Caen, and then worked in Paris for two years as a draughtsman followed by two years as a retoucher.
