"Composition: Hommage a Léger" by Elmyr de Hory
About the Item
Once his cover was blown in the 1960s, de Hory made a living from continuing his work as before, but signing the pieces with his own name. This lithograph, precisely in the style of his former teacher, Fernand Léger, is just such a work.
Signed in pencil by the artist ("Elmyr") and numbered 40 from the edition of 175. "Composition" was published in Paris in 1972, and the printmaker was Marcel Salinas, who had collaborated with Picasso on a series of lithographs only a few years earlier.
