From Instagram: "Happy birthday to French artist Fernand #Léger, born today in 1881. Léger’s use of streamlined forms, derived from mechanical imagery dates from World War I, when he served in the French army. The machine aesthetic he adopted at this time reflected his hopes of creating a truly popular art form that would describe and inspire modern life.
