About the Publication:
Roger de la Fresnaye, III (Roger de la Fresnaye, III), published in 1968 by Fernand Mourlot, Paris, is the third album in a landmark series devoted to the Pierre Levy collection, one of the most important private holdings of twentieth century French art. Conceived as both a scholarly and visual record, the series aimed to document La Fresnaye's artistic production during a pivotal period of his career, when his refined synthesis of Cubist structure and classical equilibrium had fully matured. Produced in collaboration with Mourlot Freres—the premier lithographic workshop in France—the album reflects the atelier's commitment to interpreting La Fresnaye's paintings through exceptional tonal precision and compositional fidelity. Issued in a single edition on Arches velin, the publication stands as a testament to the relationship between artist, collector, and master printer, offering a significant contribution to the historiography of modern French painting and to the tradition of museum quality art albums of the postwar era.
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 Cezanne's structural logic and Georges Seurat's chromatic science to the balance and serenity of early Renaissance frescoes and the disciplined draftsmanship of the French academic tradition. La Fresnaye's 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 Christie's New York on November 4, 2010.
