murals, stained-glass windows, mosaics, polychrome ceramic sculptures, and set and costume
designs.
After the death of his wife in 1950, Léger married Nadia Khodossevitch in 1952. In his final
years he lectured in Bern, designed mosaics and stained-glass windows for the Central
University of Venezuela in Caracas, Venezuela, and painted Country Outing, The Camper,
and the series The Big Parade. In 1954 he began a project for a mosaic for the São Paulo
Opera, which he would not live to finish. Fernand Léger died at his home in 1955 and is
buried in Gif-sur-Yvette, Essonne.
