In the mid 1900’s, famous artists and publisher Albert Skira collaborated on this book/artist portfolio to include limited edition prints that were unbound and could be removed and framed.

Ferdinand Léger’s art combines Cubist abstraction, mechanical motifs, bold color, and a rhythmic sense of composition, reflecting his fascination with modern life and technology. His work bridges the gap between avant-garde abstraction and accessible, figurative modernism. The painting may reflect the idea of a communal event, celebration, social gathering but created through Léger’s interest in form, motion, and modernity. This work marks Léger’s increasing departure from pure analytical Cubism towards something more expressive, tied to modern life, mechanical form, rhythmic composition.

Printed in Switzerland, Skira’s collection catalogs used a method called “tipping” to the color plates that were included with each publication. The print is attached by hand on the left edge and behind the plate on the page is the title, original size and date of the artwork.

History of publisher:
Albert Skira created an international publishing house that worked directly with artists and traveled the globe to gain attention and inspire artistic talent through multiple international gallery showcasings and private events of influential and transformative art. He collaborated with the greatest artists, from Picasso and Matisse to the surrealists. He continues to be a respected international point of reference for artistic monographs, art and culture books, as well as in-depth catalogues. His passion was most influential in creating a space for conversations, encounters and exchanges of art.
