Note: Ozenfant and Le Courbusier were the main proponents of a movement they would call Purism. Between 1918 through 1925, they sought to influence art and architecture away from Cubism and the fractured interpretation of objects and to use simplified forms. Fernand Leger was another proponent of Purism. After this period Ozenfant toured and taught throughout the United States, In 1947, Ozenfant was a visiting summertime teacher at Black Mountain College, Black Mountain, North Carolina.
