Architecture I is a comment on the economic condition of the world in the mid 1930's (in the U.S. it was exhibited as The New Deal), a structure with classical elements, collapsing under its own weight, held together with wire. Vieillard's work was represented in the important 1944 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in New York titled "Hayter and Studio 17" which included 60 prints by 32 artists from 12 nations.
