La Fresnaye – Gide, André: – Paludes.

One of 300 numbered copies of this only edition. On rag paper.”The only book with original illustrations by La Fresnaye. The simplified, monumental figures recall his earlier adherence to Cubism. La Fresnaye executed thirty-five preliminary drawings for this lithographs, of which five, now in a private collection, were included in the 1950 Musée d’Art Moderne exhibition” (The Artist and the Book). While beeing a member of the Section d’Or, La Fresnay, student of Maurice Denis and Paul Serusier, was attracted by Cubism, but did not follow the way of Duchamps and Kupka, he constantly continued to work in an objective style. – The Artist and the Book 154; Rauch 124; Skira 163; Garvey 154; Carteret IV, 183; Manet to Hockney 61; Wallen & Stein: The Cubist Print 138.
