Original photograph of Fernand Léger in his studio, 1952

  • N.p.: N.p., 1952
By Fernand Léger (subject)
N.p.: N.p., 1952. Vintage photograph of French modern painter and sculptor Fernand Léger in his studio in Paris in 1952. Printed mimeo snipe on the verso.

By the mid-1940s, Léger's work would become significantly less abstract, as seen in the photograph on offer, due in part to his increasingly humanist ideals after joining the Communist Party in 1945.

From the archive of the PIX Agency, an American photo house that acted as an intermediary between emigre photographers (as well as those still living in Europe) and the American magazine and newspaper market between 1935-1969.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with faint discoloration along the bottom margin.
