Fernand LĂ©ger

    Fernand LĂ©ger

    February 4, 1881 (143 years old) in Argentan, Orne, Lower Normandy, France

    Joseph Fernand Henri LĂ©ger 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.
