Imens i livet hos Fernand Léger
Hele livet1914–1916
Mobilized: two years at the front
On 2 August 1914, soon after the outbreak of the First World War, Léger is mobilized and sent to the sappers; for two years he is at the front near the Argonne and Verdun, drawing artillery pieces, airplanes and fellow soldiers in the trenches and billets. He paints “Soldier with a Pipe” (1916) while on furlough.
September 1916
Gassed at Verdun
In September 1916 at Verdun, where he is transporting the wounded, Léger is gassed — he almost dies after a German mustard-gas attack.
December 1919
Marriage to Jeanne Lohy
In December 1919 Léger marries Jeanne-Augustine Lohy; she remains his wife until her death in 1950.
