Summary
From the early 1920s until his death in 1955, the French painter and trained architectural draughtsman Fernand Léger was fascinated by the interrelationships between painting and space. His experimental projects for houses, apartments, churches, ships, public buildings, and world fairs, which he developed together with key figures of modern architecture, including Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Wallace K. Harrison and many others, testify to his many attempts to extend painting beyond the boundaries of the easel and to integrate it into the social space. Lavish illustrations, contributions by international authors, and original texts by Léger shed new light on one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.
