The publisher T\u00e9riade commissions Fernand L\u00e9ger to produce the illustrated book Cirque<\/em>, with both text and images printed in lithography by Mourlot. In this book, Fernand L\u00e9ger compares the exciting life of the country cyclist (himself) with that of the acrobat. <\/p>\n

The circus is a recurring theme in the artist’s pictorial universe. Like many moderns, he often went to the Cirque d’Hiver and the Medrano circus. But the show is above all a pretext for reflection on art: it is a metaphor for modern life, as it condenses agitation and simultaneity into a single performance. <\/p>\n

“Nothing is as round as the circus (…) It doesn’t stop, everything follows on. The ring dominates, commands, absorbs.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This original plate is the definitive model for one of the 63 lithographs in the book. The image is part of the episode on fortune-telling: <\/p>\n

“Your future is in your hand, give your hand. Miss Athena, Miskouska, Dania will tell you your fate. In the shadow of the circus, at a respectful distance, the mysterious little shack has (…)”. <\/em><\/p>\n

Vivid colors and interwoven shapes convey the intensity of this experience, where all the senses are heightened.<\/p>\n
