| | Fernand Léger (1881-1955) has long been acknowledged as one of the major artists of his time. | | | Unfortunately, this notion of Léger's art endured, and he is still popularly perceived as a painter of circumscribed technique whose modernity rests on his preoccupation with the machine. | | | Léger left the polemics to others and created a vivid, powerful art that simultaneously reconciles and exploits the contrasting qualities of the abstract and the illusionistic. |

| | Fernand Leger - Review 0870700537 |
| | Fernand Léger is the only major modern artist to choose modernity itself as his subject. | | | Léger saw the 20th century environment as a "state of contrasts," a condition that he translated into art through forceful juxtaposition of shape, color, and line. | | | Accompanying texts recount Léger's experience of and interest in America and America's interest in him; explore refractions of Léger's interests in the work of more recent artists; and discuss Léger's ambition to make an art reflecting the "new visual state" of modern life. |
