Fernand Léger, Composition géométrique (Geometric composition)1955
1955
About the Item
Utilizing a bold color palette of purple, yellow, red, and black, Léger creates an abstract work in which shapes and forms create a constructive unit. We detect hints of a road, a ladder, and a building, all of which appear geometric and slightly topsy-turvy. Léger contrasts smooth curves with sharp angles, bright hues with black and white, making a striking image that engages us and encourages us to search for imagery and meaning within the abstract composition.
Created in 1955, this work was printed by Jean Bruller and is marked with his 'B' in the left margin. Hand signed by Fernand Léger (Argentan, 1881- Gif-sur-Yvette, 1955) in ink in the lower right margin and annotated 'FL' in black in the plate in the lower right, this work is numbered from 71/200 in pencil the lower left margin.

ABOUT THE ARTIST Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Edward Landon dropped out of high school to study art at the Hartford Art School. In 1930 and 1931 he was a student of Jean Charlot at the Art Students League in New York, after which he traveled to Mexico to study privately for a year with Carlos Merida. In 1933 he settled near Springfield, Massachusetts, painted murals in the local trade school, and exhibited with the Springfield Art League. His painting 'Memorial Day' won first prize at the fifteenth annual exhibition of the League at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts. Landon became an active member of the Artists Union of Western Massachusetts, serving as president from 1934-1938. Landon acquired Anthony Velonis’s instructional pamphlet on the technique of serigraphy in the late 1930s. With colleagues Phillip Hicken, Donald Reichert, and Pauline Stiriss, he began experimenting with screen printing techniques. The artists' groundbreaking work in screen printing as a fine art medium was the subject of the group’s landmark exhibition at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts in 1940. Landon became one of the founding members of the National Serigraph Society and served as editor of its publication, 'Serigraph Quarterly,' in the late 1940s and as its president in 1952 and 1953. The Norlyst Gallery in Manhattan held a one-person show of his prints in 1945. Awarded a Fulbright Fellowship in 1950, Landon traveled to Norway, where he researched the history of local artistic traditions and produced the book 'Scandinavian Design: Picture and Rune Stones...Category
