Vintage 1950s Leger "Contrasts of Forms" Mini Offset Lithograph Art Print

A charming petite vintage offset lithograph of Contrasts of Forms (1913) by Fernand Léger.

Image (3.75" x 5") hand tipped-in on a sheet of heavy paper and affixed to chipboard backing for maximum ease in styling whether propping or framing.

Toward the end of 1912, Léger made among the most defiantly abstract works yet seen. Over the next two years he worked intensely in this experimental idiom, producing the fifty or so canvases, and twice as many works on paper, that constitute his Contrastes de formes (Contrasts of forms) series. An inventory of repeated forms—geometric cones, cubes, cylinders—jostle and pile across the surfaces of these works. Here, Léger rejects illusion to focus on the mechanics of representation, drawing attention to them with roughly blocked forms, exposed supports, unmodulated color straight from the tube applied in painterly patches, and highlights detached from any light source. Chiaroscuro, the traditional technique of light and shadow used to create the illusion of three-dimensionality within the two-dimensional reality of the picture plane, becomes a language of absolute contrasts: strident black and white or colored striations clash with one another across the works.

Léger explores the Cubist language in a very similar way to Robert Delaunay in his Fenêtres simultanées (Simultaneous Windows) and his brightly coloured disks of 1913. However, Léger’s incursion into non-objective painting was not to last long, and he returned to figuration soon after.
