'''Tubism''' is a term coined by the art critic [[Louis Vauxcelles]] in [[1911 in art|1911]] to describe the style of French artist [[Fernand Léger]].<ref>Néret, 1993, p. 42</ref> Meant as derision, the term was inspired by Léger's idiosyncratic version of [[cubism]], in which he emphasized [[Cylinder (geometry)|cylindrical]] shapes. The style was developed by Léger in his paintings of 1909–1919, such as ''Nudes in the Forest'' (1909–10) and ''Soldiers Playing Cards'' (1917).<ref>Buck et al., 1982, 31</ref>
