12405 Fernand Leger (1881–1955),after – Exhibition Poster for Musee de Lyon – Lithograph (1959)
"Fernand Leger." This lithographic exhibition poster features a composition of two figures rendered in heavy black outlines, overlaid with bold, primary-colored shapes in red, yellow, and blue. The artwork advertises a retrospective of the artist's work at the Musee de Lyon, held in conjunction with the Festival Lyon-Charbonnieres. This print was published by Mourlot Freres in the book Kunst im Plakat der Pariser Schule by Andre Sauret in 1959. The publication serves as a comprehensive visual record of the vibrant graphic design and poster art of the Parisian school.
Fernand Leger was a French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker whose work profoundly influenced the development of Cubism and later pop art movements. He initially trained as an architect before turning to painting, developing a distinct style that emphasized cylindrical and tubular forms, often dubbed "tubism." His later works celebrated modern industry, urban life, and the working class, employing bold outlines and vibrant, unmodulated colors. Leger's graphic designs, including his numerous posters, are celebrated for their clarity and dynamic, mechanical rhythm.
