Galerie Mont Seated man – Roger de La Fresnaye^ De La Fresnaye

Considered a self-portrait, “Seated Man” is an important stage in La Fresnaye’s production before the war. The left part of the painting, the geometric still life, is the subject of another painting, entitled “Still Life with a Square”. The other part of the painting is devoted to a character with an undefined face, according to the cubist norm, occupying the entire height of the canvas, in a frontal position and in an environment where curves and rectangular shapes intersect, delimited by flat areas of primary colors that cut the background. This composition, dominated by a search for harmony, is skilfully structured by the color, and illuminated by the unfinished parts.
