"I unraveled my imagination through anti-geometric forms in space."
Born Nadia Khodossievitch, Nadia Léger (1904–1982) was a painter of Belarusian origin. At first, she embraced Suprematist ideas before joining the Académie Moderne in Paris, led by Fernand Léger and Amédée Ozenfant. Oscillating between Cubism and Purism, she created anti-geometric forms. Then, in 1930, she was drawn toward Surrealism and radically changed her style by participating in collective works.
Another decisive turning point in her artistic career was, of course, her marriage to Fernand Léger, which transformed her style and brought her closer to Socialist Realism. Her art is full of powerful contrasts, reinforced by industrial constructions inherited from Purism.
