(after) Fernand Léger
This print is part of my private collection. They were published in a numbered unsigned edition of 1000, and a signed edition of 200, printed by Serifraphie Fernand Leger, Paris and published by La Guilde International de la Gravure, Jean Bruller 1954/55. Initials in plate. They are catalogued in Lawrence Saphire's "Fernand Leger- Complete Graphic Work." They come from a portfolio sute of 10 serigraphs after original Fernand Leger gouaches. Fernand Leger 1881-1955, French was one of the major Cubist painters in France, later he also became a sculptor, art educator and filmmaker. In the early 1900's he was influenced by Cezanne and began creating in a more geometric style. He created his own style called Tubism with emphasis in cylindrical forms. He was considered one of France's three major Cubist painters among Picasso and Georges Brayer. Leger was influenced by the Italian "Futurism" style.
