Just as Asger Jorn, Swedish artist Nils Adolf Wedel (1897-1967) was early in<br />

his career oriented towards Modernism within French art. From 1921-22 he<br />

studied under Othon Friesz at Académie Moderne in Paris, a period in which<br />

he met Fernand Léger. The encounter with the marked simplicity of Léger's art<br />

became a turning point in the development of Wedel's own idiom and he later<br />

described his introduction to Cubism as the most seminal experience in his life.<br />
