Fernand leger - Fernand Léger

Art, for him, was not for art's sake - it was a visionary responsibility to coalesce meaning from the blurring of progress.

Sotheby's employees pose for photographers with Fernand Leger's Cubist masterpiece 'Etude pour La Femme Bleu', on April 21, 2008 in London, England.

The Fernand Léger Museum marks with its seal the cultural landscape of the time.

By 1903, after a brief stint in the Versailles military service, Leger enrolled at the School of Decorative Arts in Paris, and later applied to the School of Fine Arts, where he was rejected.
