Fernand Léger
Fernand Leger (1881-1955) is the only modern artist to choose modernity itself as his subject. From his early series Contrastes de formes (1913-14), the first fully abstract works to emerge from Cubism, through his last realistic paintings of construction workers from the early 1950s, Leger's lifelong subject was the pulse and dynamism of contemporary life.
Modernism for the Masses
A mural renaissance swept the United States in the 1930s, propelled by the New Deal Federal Art Project and the popularity of Mexican muralism. Perhaps nowhere more than in New York City, murals became a crucial site for the development of abstract painting Artists such as Stuart Davis, Arshile Gorky, Willem de Kooning, and Lee Krasner created ambitious works for the Williamsburg Housing Project, Floyd Bennett Field Airport, and the 1939 World’s Fair. Modernism for the Masses examines the public murals (realized and unrealized) of these and other abstract painters and the aesthetic controversy, political influence, and ideological warfare that surrounded them. Jody Patterson transforms standard narratives of modernism by reasserting the significance of the 1930s and explores the reasons for the omission of the mural’s history from chronicles of American art. Beautifully illustrated with the artists’ murals and little-known archival photographs, this book recovers the radical idea that modernist art was a vital part of everyday life.
Long Island Moderns
Long Island Moderns provides a new cultural narrative of Long Island in the 20th century. Throughout the period important artist such as Lee Krasner, Fernand Leger, Irving Penn and Cindy Sherman lived and worked on the island. Beginning in the late-1920s, architects like Albert Frey, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Wallace Harrison built homes for themselves or their clients. From the mid-1940s, Long Island became home to works by Masters of Modernism like Philip Johnson and Marcel Breuer and new communities like Levittown changed the landscape.
