Roger De La Fresnaye : Une Peinture Libre Comme L'air Suivi Des Lettres Inédites De La Fresnaye À Cocteau

Closely linked to the intellectual and artistic life of his time, Roger de La Fresnaye (1885-1925) was able to invent a style between modernity and tradition, cubism and classicism. He is represented in the collections of the most prestigious museums in France and abroad. Unclassifiable in his private life as in his painting, Roger de La Fresnaye is one of the most disconcerting and independent artists of his time.

This richly illustrated book allows us to rediscover the man and his work. In the appendix, Roger de La Fresnaye's unpublished correspondence with Jean Cocteau is reproduced, from the first months of the war in 1915 until 1921.
