PIERRE FIX-MASSEAU (1905-1994)

LA NOUVELLE HUILES DE SURPUISSANCE / RENAULT. 1934.


46x30 1/2 inches, 116 3/4x77 1/2 cm. Imprimerie Spe Le Huiles Renault.
Condition B: creases, abrasions and staining in image and along vertical and horizontal folds.

In a classic use of perspective that borrows freely from Cassandre, Fix-Masseau shows a tree-lined road with a gigantic can of Renault oil in the foreground. This is one of the few times that the artist employed photography.
