Amédée Ozenfant Biography

French artist Amédée Ozenfant was known for co-founding the Purism movement alongside Le Corbusier. Their collaboration led to the writing of the manifesto, Après le cubisme in 1918, which critiqued Cubism's complexities and championed a return to clearer, ordered forms. Ozenfant's art emphasized geometric simplicity, reflecting the modern industrial age. He furthered his ideas through institutions like the Ozenfant Academy of Fine Arts, profoundly influencing 20th-century art's theoretical and aesthetic landscape.
