‘The primacy of the subject is no longer accepted. This framework, which dominated all Renaissance art, has been shattered. With the subject destroyed, something else had to be found; it is the object and pure colour that have become the new values. In this new phase, freedom of composition becomes infinite. A total freedom that will allow for imaginative compositions in which creative fantasy can reveal itself and develop.”
Fernand Léger, 1935
