LÉGER, FERNAND
1881 Argentan/Orne - 1955 Gif-sur-Yvette
Title: Le Remorqueur.
Date: Presumably 1950s.
Technique: Colour lithograph on Arches (watermark).
Depiction Size: 42 x 32cm.
Sheet Size: 65 x 51cm.
Notation: Signed in the print. As well as numbered.
Number: 180/180.
Condition:
Unevenly discoloured. Minimal traces of handling. Verso remains of an old mounting as well as unevenly discoloured. Otherwise in good condition.
The sheet is probably a motif from the portfolio "La Ville", which Léger began in 1954. In 1959, Tériade published a portfolio with 29 motifs in collaboration with Fernand Mourlot and Nadia Léger based on the stones that the artist had made during his lifetime. The stones were signed by the artist and the portfolio was published in an edition of 180 copies. Not all 29 motifs are depicted in Saphire.
Cf. Literature:
- Saphire, Lawrence: Fernand Léger- L'oeuvre gravé, New York 1985 (2nd ed.), pp. 238/239 and 286/287.
