The slightly underdoped high-temperature system La{sub 1.86}Sr{sub 0.14}CuO{sub 4} (LSCO) is studied by means of high-energy high-resolution angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and the combined LDA + DMFT + {Sigma}{sub k} computational scheme. The corresponding one-band Hubbard model is solved via dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), and the model parameters needed are obtained from first principles in the local density approximation (LDA). An 'external' k-dependent self-energy {Sigma}{sub k} describes the interaction of correlated electrons with antiferromagnetic (AFM) pseudogap fluctuations. Experimental and theoretical data clearly show a 'destruction' of the LSCO Fermi surface in the vicinity of the ({pi}, 0) point and formation of 'Fermi arcs' in the nodal directions. ARPES energy distribution curves as well as momentum distribution curves demonstrate a deviation of the quasiparticle band from the Fermi level around the ({pi}, 0) point. The same behavior of spectral functions follows from theoretical calculations suggesting the AFM origin of the pseudogap state.
