Summary: With his landmark 1919 painting 'The City', Fernand Leger (1881-1955) inaugurated a vitally experimental decade during which he and others redefined the practice of painting in confrontation with the forms of cultural production that were central to urban life, ranging from graphic and advertising design to theatre, dance, film, and architecture. The catalogue casts new light on the painting, the avant-garde use of print media, and L�eger's fascination with cinema and architecture, and contextualizes a network of international avant-gardes in relation to L�eger.
