Further information: The group Abstraction Création was formed in Paris in 1931; Auguste Herbin was its president and George Vantongerloo vice president. Other members of the board of directors were Jean Arp, Albert Gleizes, Frantisek Kupka and George Valmier. Artists from all over the world were invited to join and send illustrations of their work to be included in the five yearbooks issued between 1932 and 1938 (in black and white). These books are now very rare collectors' items and the 1973 portfolio, in large format and full color shows the wide perspective of abstract art in the 1930s.

 

The Piet Mondrian I acquired a few years ago is from a similar portfolio.

 

As always, I am at www.brycehudson.com stop by, say hi ;-) I love to network with and meet other modernists and art/design enthusiasts!
