Catalogue raisonné of the painted works of Fernand Léger, Volume VIII, covering the years 1949–1951.
Colour, colour and colours…Here is Léger growing like the sun of the Tertiary period and hardening and fixing the still life, the earth’s crust, the liquid, the misty. Anything that tarnishes.Tout ce qui se ternit. Cloudy geometry, The plumb line that dissolves, Ossification, Locomotion, Everything teems. These few lines by Blaise Cendrars constitute the most intimate commentary on the works presented in this eighth volume.
