Thesis Statement

1. Fernand Leger “The City” in the paintings reduced subject matter to compositions of made up of colorful shapes. He also fragments his subjects and uses letterforms to form stylistic representations of his visual experience.

2. El Lissitzky “Beat the white with the Red Wedge” uses simple shapes to convey his message instead of words and pictures in the conventional arrangement.

3.
Pictorial Modernism: Adolphe Mouron Cassandre, Normandie uses simple illusion and type to suggest a massage easy for the consumers to understand.

  1. Hi My - Leger was a very early artist who put letter forms in his paintings (which is so popular now) but I don't think they are graphic design. The Lissitzky and Cassandre works seem like better examples. I think Canssandre is especially interesting because he had serious artistic concerns but was a huge commericial success - sort of modern and modernistic at the same time.
