Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | With his landmark 1919 painting The City, Fernand Léger inaugurated a vitally experimental decade during which he and others redefined the practice of painting in confrontation with the forms of cultural production that were central to urban life, ranging from graphic and advertising design to theatre, dance, film and architecture. This catalogue casts new light on the painting (reproducing all of its studies together for the first time), the avant-garde use of print media, and Léger's fascination with cinema and architecture, and contextualises a network of international avant-gardes - including Blaise Cendrars, Le Corbusier, Jean Epstein, Piet Mondrian, Amédée Ozenfant, Francis Picabia and Theo van Doesburg - in relation to Léger. Exhibition: Philadelphia Museum of Art, USA (14.10.2013-05.01.2014). |
