Albert Gleizes

Albert Gleizes (1881-1953) was a French painter and theorist, associated with the cubist movement at the beginning of the 20th century. Born in Paris, Gleizes studied at the Académie Julian and was one of the founding members of the Section d'Or movement in 1912, a group of artists who shared common interests in geometric abstraction and cubism.

Gleizes played an active role in the development of cubism. His work has evolved over time, moving from analytical cubism, characterized by the fragmentation of forms, to a more synthetic and orphic approach. He also wrote about art and artistic theory, contributing to the understanding and explanation of cubism.

After the First World War, Gleizes became interested in more spiritual ideas and was influenced by mystical concepts in his artistic work. He has also been involved in architectural projects and has taught art.

The legacy of Albert Gleizes lies in his contribution to the evolution of cubism and in his role as an artistic theorist and educator. His writings, in particular “Du Cubisme” co-written with Jean Metzinger, are considered important texts for understanding the cubist movement.
