Enormous enlargements of an object or a fragment give it a personality it never had before, and in this way, it can become a vehicle of entirely new lyric and plastic power.

More quotes by Fernand Leger
Above all, it is a matter of loving art, not understanding it.
Fernand Leger
I organize the opposition between colors, lines and curves. I set curves against straight lines, patches of color against plastic forms, pure colors against subtly nuanced shades of gray.
Fernand Leger
Modern man lives more and more in a preponderantly geometric order. All human creation mechanical or industrial is dependent upon geometric intentions.
Fernand Leger
Colour is a human need like water and fire. It is a raw material indispensable to life
Fernand Leger
The craving for colour is a natural necessity just as for water and fire. Colour is a raw material indispensable to life. At every era of his existence and his history, the human being has associated colour with his joys, his actions and his pleasures.
Fernand Leger
This truth must be recognized as a dogma and assume the validity of an axiom in the general understanding of painting
Fernand Leger
The Beautiful is everywhere perhaps more in the arrangement of your saucepans on the white walls of your kitchen than in your eighteenth-century living room or in the official museums.
Fernand Leger
Man needs color to live it's just as necessary an element as fire and water.
Fernand Leger
