Lithographic invitation with art by Auguste Herbin made in relation to an exhibition of the artist, held at the renowned Galerie L’Effort Moderne, directed by Léonce Rosenberg in 1921.

Auguste Herbin was a French painter and influential figure in the development of abstract art in the 20th century. Herbin initially trained as a textile designer before turning to painting. His early works were influenced by Impressionism and Fauvism, but he later transitioned to Cubism, becoming associated with the Cubist movement. He was particularly inspired by the work of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso during this period. In the 1920s, Herbin began to move away from representational art and towards abstraction. He became one of the pioneers of geometric abstraction, exploring the use of simple geometric shapes and primary colors in his paintings. His compositions often featured grids, circles, and rectangles arranged in harmonious arrangements. He believed that abstract art could convey universal truths and spiritual values, and he sought to create art that spoke to the essence of form and color.

The piece is framed with a hand painted black frame with a hand silvered inner edge, with warm brown passepartout, and s placed on a dark background.
