Fernand Leger was an artist who developed a style called “machine art” which uses tube-like forms, bold colours, and mechanical imagery. Despite painting, he had also done worked with ceramics, stained glass windows, print, and even film and theater. He began his career as an architectural draftsman, as well as a photo retoucher.
It was when he did schooling in Paris, however, that he was influenced by artists such as Cézanne, Picasso, and Braque. This is when he abandoned the fauvist and impressionistic style of painting, and started creating unique renditions of cubism. He used primary colours, curved and straight lines, and forms derived from mechanics to create his work.
He eventually created the avant-garde film Ballet Mécanique and designed murals. His main art pieces he created near the end of his life were The Constructors and The Great Parade. He wanted these pieces to appeal to the general public, but unfortunately didn’t get the popularity he wanted at the time.

Today he is greatly appreciated and has his work in many large galleries. I believe his work is bold, yet graceful. His take on the cubist style is very unique and adore his creativity and his bold use of shape, pattern and colour.
