Original vintage exhibition advertising poster for an exhibiton by Fernand Leger (1881-1955), a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker. Having regarded to be a forerunner of pop art, his early works he created a personal form of cubism which he gradually modified into a more figurative, populist style. The exhibition was held from May to June 1962, at 70 Rue de L'Universite, Paris - the gallery of Heinz Berggruen, a collector and dealer who played a major role in the post-World War Two reception and dissemination of European modern art, and more specifically, of Pablo Picasso. The poster features a Leger painting dated from 1913. Toward the end of 1912, Leger 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. Very good condition, minor creasing, minor staining. Country of issue: France, designer: Fernand Leger, size (cm): 60x45, year of printing: 1962.
