Pistons, 1918 || == Propellors, 1981 || Artist **Fernand Léger** was born in France. He **LOVED** machines. He first really noticed how beautiful machines could be when he was a soldier in World War 1 and watched the sunlight sparkle into different colours on the shiny canons and guns. He could see lots of interesting shapes in his machines and sometimes painted the back, the front and the sides of a machine - all at the same time. Tricky stuff!
