About the Item

Medium: Lithograph on vélin d'Arches paper Year: 1968 Paper Size: 20 x 26 inches Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued Notes: From the folio, Roger de la Fresnaye, III, Collection Pierre Levy, 1968; published by Fernand Mourlot, Paris; printed by Mourlot Frères, Paris, November 4, 1968. Excerpted from the folio, This album, the third in a series dedicated to Mr. Pierre Lévy's collection, was printed in M examples on Arches vellum. Printing was finished on November 4, 1968 by Mourlot for lithographs of the canvases of Roger de la Fresnaye and by Fequet and Baudier for Waldemar George's unpublished text. Fernand Mourlot, Paris 1968. ROGER DE LA FRESNAYE (1885–1925) was a French Cubist painter. From 1912 to 1914 La Fresnaye was a member of the Section d'Or group of artists, and his work demonstrates an individual response to cubism. He was influenced by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, but his work has a more decorative than structural feel and his prismatic colours reflect the influence of Robert Delaunay. He was a member of the Puteaux Group, an orphist offshoot of cubism led by Jacques Villon. His most famous work is The Conquest of the Air, 1913, which depicts himself and his brother outdoors with a balloon in the background. La Fresnaye enlisted in the French army in World War I but contracted tuberculosis and was discharged in 1918. His health deteriorated rapidly after the war. He never recovered the physical energy to undertake sustained work. In the later paintings that he did create, he abandoned cubist spatial analysis for a more linear style. He ceased painting in 1922 but continued to draw. De la Fresnaye died in Grasse in 1925 at the age of 40.
