Jacques Villon

Jacques Villon was a French artist born in 1875, known for his work in printmaking, painting, and drawing. He was part of the early 20th-century Cubist movement, which aimed to depict subjects from multiple angles to create a fragmented, abstract look. Villon often focused on cityscapes, landscapes, and human figures, using geometric shapes and bold lines. He also co-founded the influential group "Groupe de Puteaux," contributing to modern art's development. His innovative techniques and compositions helped shape the evolution of modern art in France.
