About the Item
Mobilized in 1914, like many of his Cubist friends, Albert Gleizes was sent to a barracks in Toul, Lorraine, near the front line. Supported by a military doctor, Major Lambert, of whom he would paint an important portrait (now at the Guggenheim Museum in New York), Gleizes continued to draw and paint, but his working conditions were altered by his military obligations. He was soon reformed, thanks to the help of his future wife Juliette Roche, and left for New York. This city will be an upheaval of colours, sounds and vivacity.
This painting was created in Toul according to the precepts of cubism that he theorized with Metzinger and then completed shortly thereafter in 1915 in New York when he arrived. As a tribute to this fortified city threatened by the Germans but impregnable by the vision that the artist gives us, Gleizes makes it swirl with serenity and gives it back its colours that the war has faded. The work is vibrant and rhythmic by superimposed geometric forms that let us glimpse an evolution of the artist’s style towards abstraction. This spectacular composition is representative of the work Gleizes created during this period but it is also a rare witness to the personal and artistic life of one of the founding fathers of cubism.

Albert Gleizes
Albert Gleizes (1881-1953) was a prominent French artist, theorist, and philosopher, best remembered as a pioneer of Cubism alongside artists like Picasso and Braque. Born in Paris, his early work was influenced by Impressionism, but by 1910, he had delved deep into the innovative world of Cubism, emphasizing geometrical forms and multiple viewpoints. With Jean Metzinger, he co-authored "On Cubism," a significant treatise that helped define and explain the movement's principles. Throughout his career, Gleizes continued to evolve his style, moving towards abstraction and integrating his fascination with rhythm and color. In addition to his visual contributions, his writings made him an influential voice in 20th-century art theory. A true visionary, Gleizes not only reshaped the art world with his creations but also laid the groundwork for future abstract artists with his profound insights into the essence of art.
