"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"

- Fernand Leger

About this Quote

This quote by Fernand Leger talks to the power of augmentation in art. By enlarging an object or piece, it can take on a new life and become something entirely different. This change can develop a new lyric and plastic power, allowing the artist to express something that was not possible before. This idea of enhancement can be seen in a lot of Leger's works, where he frequently used abstract shapes and types to create a brand-new visual language. By increasing the size of these shapes, he was able to create a special and effective visual experience. This quote talks to the power of augmentation in art and how it can be used to create something completely new and special. It is a reminder of the importance of experimentation and exploration in art, and how it can be used to develop something genuinely unique.
