"Cubist Forms in Blue and Red, " Brilliant Painting by Gleizes, Abstract Cubism

About the Item

One of the most brilliantly-hued paintings by Albert Gleizes we have seen, this highly abstract Cubist work is a rotating knot of curving forms in periwinkle, carmen, olive green, sky blue, burnt sienna and grey flannel, as vivid now as when it was painted a hundred years ago. Early in his life he was influenced by Fernand Leger, Robert Delauney and Jean Metzinger, and later he worked for a time in America, developing a spiritual life that influenced his work. Many of his early works, like this, were painted in gouache, and in some cases he used a template to apply his paint with geometric exactitude, though there is little evidence that he painted the same picture twice. The painting is signed in the lower right. (Dimensions include matte and frame; visible painting is 10.5 inches high by 9 inches wide.)
