Amédée Ozenfant

Amédée Ozenfant was a French painter and art theorist. He was a prominent figure in the development of the purist movement, which was characterised by the use of geometric shapes, bright colours and simplified forms and was conceived as a response to the chaos and disorder of modern society.

Amede Ozanfan wrote extensively about the principles of purism and the role of art in modern society. In his book The Foundations of Modern Art, co-written with Le Corbusier, Ozanfan argued that art should be based on rational principles and serve social purposes.

Ozanthan's work had a significant influence on the development of modern art, and his ideas continue to be studied and discussed by art historians and theorists.
