Geneve, printed in Italy. About the Publication: Fernand Leger mes voyages avec a poeme d'aragon et des lithographies de l'auteur (Fernand Leger My Travels with a Poem by Aragon and Lithographs by the Author) represents one of the most ambitious posthumous presentations of Leger's late graphic and literary synthesis. Originally conceived in 1960 with lithographs printed by Mourlot Freres under the supervision of Nadia Leger, the work brings together Louis Aragon's poetic reflections and Leger's boldly stylized imagery, forming a unified artistic meditation on travel, landscape, and modern experience. The 1970 edition, produced by Production Edito-Service S.A. in collaboration with Editeurs Francais Reunis, adapts the material into a revised, more accessible format printed on velin bouffant des Papeteries de Hauteville, expanding its reach while preserving the integrity of the compositions. The publication reflects the mid-century trend of reissuing important artist albums in revised formats for international audiences, preserving the integrity of the original lithographs while situating them within a fresh editorial framework. The publication mirrors the elaborate editioning practices common in French and Swiss collaborative printmaking during the postwar era. Today, the album is valued for its synthesis of literature, visual art, and cultural geography, revealing Leger's fascination with the modern world and his continuing influence on the evolution of the artist's album. About the Artist: Fernand Leger (1881–1955) was a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker whose pioneering fusion of modern life, mechanization, and visual abstraction made him one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Emerging from the Cubist movement, Leger developed a highly personal style distinguished by bold contrasts, cylindrical forms, and rhythmic compositions that celebrated the beauty of industrial progress and the vitality of modern urban life. Deeply influenced by the innovations of Paul Cezanne and the structural experimentation of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Leger transformed Cubism's fragmented perspective into a dynamic, machine-age aesthetic that bridged fine art, architecture, and design. His work often depicted workers, machinery, and everyday objects as monumental symbols of harmony between humanity and technology, reflecting both his optimism for modernity and his belief in the democratization of art. During his career, Leger was part of an extraordinary artistic circle that included Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—visionaries who shared his commitment to pushing the boundaries of artistic form and expression. A leading figure in the international avant-garde, Leger also explored large-scale murals, public art, and film, expanding the reach of modern art beyond the gallery. His works are represented in major museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Tate, and the Guggenheim, where they continue to inspire admiration for their bold geometry, humanist vision, and timeless modernity. The highest price ever paid for a Fernand Leger artwork is approximately 70 million USD, achieved in 2017 at Christie's New York for Contraste de formes (1913).
