Albert Gleizes and Cubists

Galerie David, Bielefeld

in Paris 1910 – 1930

Albert Gleizes belongs to the Cubists around Robert Delaunay and endeavours to find a theoretical explanation of this style in important texts. He begins to paint in the impressionist style. In 1908/09 under the influence of Henri Le Fauconnier and Jean Metzinger he turns to a geometrically simplified depiction and thus creates the, as they are called, 'Paysages classiques' (Landscape of the Propylaeum). In 1910 he joins the Cubists around Robert Delaunay. Soon he discovers his very own style in which he, quite similar to futurism, dismantles an object and arranges its elements rhythmically. Together with Metzinger he writes the book 'Du Cubisme', in an attempt to explain the analytical cubism in terms of epistemological concepts (time-space-relationship, fourth dimension, simultaneity). Gleizes is one of the leaders of the group 'La Section d'Or' founded by Jacques Villon. With his idea of a more dynamic cubism Gleizes stimulates other painters such as Le Fauconnier, Roger de Fresnaye and Fernand Léger. This composition of futuristic dynamic and cubistic use of forms reaches its peak in the 'Compositions rythmées' (1931/32).

We will be delighted to have the pleasure of your company at the upcoming exhibition of Albert Gleizes, Karel Teige, Georges Valmier, Ossip Zadkine, Leopold Survage, André Mare, Louis Marcoussis, Jean Lurcat, Le Corbusier and Auguste Herbin. The exhibition will be opened within the project of the 4. Bielefelder Nacht der Museen, Kirchen und Galerien (Bielefeld Night of the Museums, Churches and Galeries). You are welcome to bread and wine and we also have some surprises in stock for you.
