Galerie Mont The Fourteenth of July – Roger de La Fresnaye^ De La Fresnaye

The Fourteenth of July offers an emblematic example of La Fresnaye’s idiosyncratic Cubist experimentation and is indicative of a decisive transition in the artist’s career. His sensitivity to color is resolutely concrete in the present work, where the construction is based on a series of geometric shapes colored in primary colors, black or white. Proudly displaying the colors of the tricolor flag in the upper left-hand corner, La Fresnaye gives this work an obvious patriotic dimension at the time of its execution at the dawn of the First World War.
