ROGER BRODERS (1883-1953) CRÉDIT DE L'OUEST. 1920.
31 1/4x23 1/4, 79 1/2x59 cm. Devambez, Paris.
Condition B+: restoration and restored losses along vertical and horizontal folds; creases in corners.
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.
