ROGER BRODERS (1883-1953)

CRÉDIT DE L'OUEST / EMPRUNT NATIONAL. 1920.


31¼x23½ inches, 79½x59¾ cm. Devambez, Paris.
Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and abrasions in margins and along vertical and horizontal folds; small ripples in image.

A singular image in Broders' oeuvre in that it advertises a bank. A bookkeeper takes time away from his ledger to inform the public on an inside tip that the 6% interest is to their advantage. Broders' use of flat planes of color broadcasts his ultimate artistic direction.

Broders p. 29 B, Perry / Broders p. 8.
