"This book presents the work of one of the twentieth century's most influential painters. Leger (1881-1955) is associated with the Cubist movement, although he disagreed with the analytical method of the Cubists and supported the Section d'Or group's emphasis on movement and color. This interest can be seen in Leger's earlier work, while his later art focuses on industrial objects and landscapes."
