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.)

"Burlesque and Cubist Composition", Two-Sided Painting by William L'Engle
By William L'Engle
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Brilliant and memorable, this painting has two sides: a scene of nude burlesque dancers, ornamented in red feathers and red shoes on one side, and on the other, a highly abstract, Cubist composition in tones of taupe, wine, pale green and black. The artist was William L'Engle, and clearly he considered the Cubist composition more important, because it has a hand-painted border and is monogrammed. L'Engle was a towering figure in the Provincetown art colony, and was extremely well connected to America's artistic elite, starting with his trip to Europe as a young man with Waldo Pierce and George Biddle. Over time, William and his life Lucy became close to a wide range of important figures in painting, theater and the arts, including Charles Hawthorne, Eugene O'Neill, Gerrit Beneker, John Dos Passos, Edmund Wilson...
