Joseph Fernand Henri Léger was a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker. His boldly simplified treatment of modern subject matter has causeed him to be regarded as a forerunner of pop art. Fernand Léger is the only major modern artist to choose modernity itself as his subject. His enduring subject was the pulse and dynamism of everyday life. This book was published to accompany the 1998 retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.Published by Harry N Abrams. First Edition, Hardcover, New.
