About the Item

This exquisite lithograph after Roger de La Fresnaye (1885–1925), titled Scène militaire (Military Scene), from the folio Roger de la Fresnaye, III, Collection Pierre Levy, 1968, originates from the edition published by Fernand Mourlot, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, on November 4, 1968. The work reflects La Fresnayes synthesis of geometric structure and lyrical clarity, translating the disciplined formal construction and radiant tonal balance of his painting into a lithographic composition of striking elegance and rhythmic poise. Executed as a lithograph on velin d'Arches paper, this work measures 26 x 20 inches. Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the technical mastery of the Mourlot atelier.

Fernand Mourlot, Paris 1968. About the Publication: Roger de la Fresnaye, III, Collection Pierre Levy, published in 1968 by Fernand Mourlot, Paris, is the third album in the distinguished series devoted to the Pierre Levy collection, one of the most culturally significant private holdings of twentieth century French art. Conceived as both a scholarly document and an exceptional visual album, the publication was designed to present key works by Roger de La Fresnaye in lithographic form at a moment of renewed postwar interest in the evolution of Cubism and the Section d’Or. Created in close collaboration with Mourlot Freres—the foremost lithographic atelier in France—the album reflects the ateliers commitment to translating La Fresnayes geometric harmony, chromatic subtlety, and architectural sense of composition into richly calibrated lithographs. Issued in a single edition on velin d'Arches, the album forms part of an important postwar tradition of museum quality albums that sought to preserve, interpret, and disseminate the work of major modernists for both scholarly and cultural audiences. As such, it remains a vital document in the historiography of Cubism and early twentieth century French painting, as well as a testament to the partnership between collector, printer, and the broader intellectual world that championed La Fresnayes enduring significance. About the Artist: Roger de La Fresnaye (1885–1925) was a French painter whose rare ability to merge the structural clarity of Cubism with classical harmony, radiant color, and poetic emotional depth positioned him as one of the most sophisticated and visionary artists of the early twentieth century, creating his legacy within the same transformative modernist environment shaped by Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray; born in Le Mans to an aristocratic family and trained at both the Academie Julian and the Ecole des Beaux Arts, La Fresnaye emerged as a leading member of the Puteaux Group (Section d’Or), an intellectual circle that included Albert Gleizes, Jean Metzinger, Francis Picabia, Fernand Leger, and Marcel Duchamp, united by their commitment to advancing a more mathematically ordered, philosophically rigorous, and rhythmically balanced approach to Cubism. His paintings—marked by crystalline geometric construction, gentle yet luminous color harmonies, and a refined sense of spatial orchestration—reflect a remarkable synthesis of influences ranging from Paul Cezannes structural logic and Georges Seurats chromatic science to the balance and serenity of early Renaissance frescoes and the disciplined draftsmanship of the French academic tradition. La Fresnayes most celebrated works, including his iconic bicycle riding figures, stylized portraits, and architecturally composed still lifes, demonstrate a Cubism that is not fracturing but unifying, not aggressive but lyrical—imbued with a warmth, joy, and humanism uncommon within the broader avant garde. Though his career was tragically shortened after World War I due to severe illness, his impact extended far beyond his brief lifetime: his elegant geometric vocabulary influenced the evolution of mid century abstraction and inspired painters such as Fernand Leger, Auguste Herbin, Amadeo de Souza Cardoso, and later generations of artists drawn to the intersection of order, clarity, and expressive modern form. Today, La Fresnaye is revered by historians, curators, and collectors for the refinement and intelligence of his contribution to Cubism, with his works held in prestigious museums throughout Europe and the United States and increasingly recognized as essential milestones in the development of modern art. Reflecting his enduring cultural and market significance, the highest auction record for his work was achieved by La Conquete de l’Air, No. 2, which sold for 2.75 million USD at Christies New York on November 4, 2010.
