	Leger
		Leger created lithographs at a time when the majority of prints were being done without color; he produced over 30 relatively large lithographs and aquatints in a period when Miro had less than 25 and Picasso, Braque and Chagall far fewer.
		Leger's lithographs are generally outlined by a line, drawn often quite wide with a brush or pen, and colors are applied flat.
		Leger's method of coloring was to provide the printer with a marquette,a colored fl proof on the lithograph or a gouache of the subject.

	Le Vase. by Fernand Leger, 1881-1955 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It is also a key statement of his aesthetic ideas in the mid 1920’s; standing along with his major paintings of the same period it marks a moment of great significance in the development of European art.
		In the mid 1920’s Leger had moved away from the early cubist handling, and followed by Ozenfant and Le Corbusier, had focused on the attempt to express pure form and space through shapes which were machine manufactured in a style that he called ‘Purism’.
		All the impressions differ slightly, both in the exact registration of the colour areas, and in the tones of the ink, notably the red and in the green, which Leger formed by overprinting blue on yellow, and the brown which is red on yellow.

		These contrasts appeared constantly in his ouvre and in particular throughout his exploratory work of the twenties, with its flattened forms and bold colours, as well as later in the series of objects in space, and finally in what were known as the couleurs en dehors of the last years of his life.
		This exhibition sets out to analyse Leger's artistic career, showing him not only as a painter and draughtsman but as an all-round artist who took classical parameters as the starting point for establishing the patterns of modernism.

	Acquavella: Fernand Léger
		For Léger was not only one of the great idealists among artists of our century, but a practical idealist at that: he wanted to see his ideals realized not only in his art but in the world around him, and he thought that his art could in some way change that world for the better.
		But Fernand Léger is not a mystic, he is a painter, simply a painter, and I am as pleased by his simplicity as by the solidity of his judgement.
		The, first was known for, among other things, his fine sense of highly nuanced surface and touch, the fluidity of his space, and his espousal of an elitist attitude toward his audience.
