Fernand Léger (1881 – 1955) was a French painter, sculptor, and decorative artist. His projects included book illustrations, murals, stained-glass windows, mosaics, polychrome ceramic sculptures, and set and costume designs. In his early works, he created a form of Cubism (known as "Tubism" for its emphasis on cylindrical forms), which he progressively modified into a more figurative and simpler populist style. He taught art at the Académie Vassilieff and the Sorbonne, founded his own Académie Fernand Léger, which was in Paris, and the Yale School of Art and Architecture. His treatment of modern subject matter and numerous prominent pupils has caused him to be regarded as a forerunner of Pop Art.
