“A pioneer of cubism and abstract art, Fernand Léger emerged from the First World War enamored of the so-called machine aesthetic wherein the visual spectacle of modern life was the essential subject for modern painting. He also wrote about cinema, and in BALLET MECANIQUE used rapid editing and the close-up to find visual drama and formal beauty in machine parts and functional objects.” - Matthew Affron
