Description
Fernand Léger (1881-1955) - Le Travail, Les peintres témoins de leur temps, Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris, 1951. Printed by Mourlot. 67x52 cm. Original poster, lithograph. Not canvas-backed. Condition A. Perfect condition. Produced for the exhibition "Les peintres témoins de leur temps" at the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1951, this poster reproduces a composition by Fernand Léger produced in 1948 on the theme of work, a central theme in his post-war work. Léger developed a visual language based on the simplification of forms, the monumentality of figures and an aesthetic linked to the industrial world and social modernity. This series of exhibitions marked an important moment in the institutional recognition of modern artists in France in the immediate post-war period.
