Fernand Léger's 'La Fin du Monde.'
From the edition limited to 1,225 copies, with this one of 1,200 on Registre vélin Lafuma.
Cendrar's twentieth-century satire La Fin du Monde (The End of the World) is organized like a movie script and given a dizzying pictorial environment by Léger. Compressing space in the Cubist manner, Léger invokes a sense of simultaneity with overlapping and repetitive geometric and alphabetic forms.' (Riva Castleman, A Century of Artist's Books).
[Castleman 170 - 171].
