Published to accompany a retrospective exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, February 1998, this work describes the painter as an adroit negotiator in the century's long quarrel between abstraction and representation. From his early "Contrastes de formes" (1913-14), the first fully abstract work to emerge from Cubism, through to his last realistic paintings of construction workers in the early 1950s, Fernand Leger's lifelong concern was to capture the pulse and dynamism of 20th century life. This now out-of-print book contains 217 illustrations with 67 in full color and is in virtually like new condition.
