Fernand Léger<br />
La tasse de thé, the definitive study for the right-hand figure in<br />
Le Grand Déjeuner (The Museum of Modern Art, New York) shares<br />
Mondrian’s emphasis on solid black bands and rectangular expanses<br />
of white, vivified with flashes of bright colour. Léger’s Grand Déjeuner<br />
pictures are arguably the most successful fusion of a resolutely<br />
modernist attitude toward urban industrial life and profound<br />
respect for the classical dignity of antiquity.<br />
