I chose to write this blog post on the French cubist painter Fernand Leger, because of his unique cubist style, depiction of the female subject and his influence in early pop art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tEarly in Legers life he was a draftsman living in france to support himself as a young adult but was also taking art classes on the side at a local influential art school in france called the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts. Most of his earliest works were influenced by impressionist painter Paul Cezanne but,  you can also start to see the impact early cubism and artists like Pablo Picasso had on his late work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leger served in the French army from 1914-1917. During the period his work became more mechanical where more strong shapes came to play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After his time in the war, there was a distinct style change, he was reflecting on his experiences from the trenches.  The term \u201cMachine Art\u201d was later coined in his name to describe his mechanic-like style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
