Note :
"The obligation of the subject is no longer accepted. The framework that dominated all Renaissance art was broken. The subject destroyed, something else had to be found, and the object and pure colour became the substitute. In this new phase, the freedom of composition became infinite. A total freedom that would allow imaginative compositions in which the creative imagination could reveal itself and develop".
Fernand Léger, 1935
