About the Item
Exhibited for the first time in 1928 at Galerie Bernhiem-Jeune, Paris, this work was published by Bernheim-Jeune and printed under the direction of Villon. Assuming a pose resembling a Grecian goddess, the subject appears devoid of individual characteristics. Leger has removed all flaws, creating a pristine image defined by silken black hair and a curvaceous torso. Adding further visual intrigue to the image, Leger bifurcates the perspective of the image, allowing the vase to dominate both the foreground and background of the image.
"His need to use the face as just one among many elements made it impossible for him to treat it any other way than as a decorative object, regardless of how much this displeased people. Leger did not want to be dominated by the subject. A break with sentimental painting was the only way for him to create a beautiful object on the canvas. He had his "professional conscience" to reckon with, just as the early masters did" (Neret, 181).
Created in 1928, this color aquatint, engraving, and roulette on Arches paper is hand-signed by Fernand Léger (Argentan, 1881 – Gif-sur-Yvette, 1955) in pencil in the lower right margin. Numbered from the 45/200 in pencil in the lower right margin and was published by Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, Paris.

By David Hockney
Located in Palo Alto, CA
David Hockney A Moving Still Life, from The Blue Guitar, 1976-1977 is a playful scene that takes its title to the full extent of its literal meaning.

The hair of the mannequin blows out behind it, threading neatly through a mysterious red hoop...

By William Walcot R. E. Hon. R. I. B. A.
Located in Storrs, CT
Ludgate Hill. 1921. Etching, aquatint, and drypoint. Dickins 69. 5 5/8 x 5 1/8 (sheet 13 5/8 x 9 3/4). A fine proof with plate tone, printed on 'J Wha[tman] cream wove paper. Edition of 275 for the UK and 125 for the US. Signed in pencil.
Ludgate Hill is a street that runs west from St. Paul's Churchyard to Ludgate Circus (built in 1864), and from there becomes Fleet Street. The Ludgate Hill railway station, between Water Lane and New Bridge Street, is a station of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. It was closed before World War II and the railway bridge and viaduct between Holborn Viaduct and Blackfriars stations was demolished in 1990 to enable the construction of the City Thameslink railway station in a tunnel. This also involved the regrading of the slope of Ludgate Hill at the junction. About halfway up Ludgate Hill is St Martin, Ludgate church. This was physically joined to the Ludgate.

Charing Cross is located at the junction of the Strand, Whitehall, and Cockspur Street in Central London, England.
