Albert Gleizes Life and Impact
Albert Gleizes (1881-1953) was a French artist and writer. Best known for his Cubist paintings, he dissected landscape and figure into flat planes while writing authoritatively on French avant-garde art.
Gleizes was born on December 8, 1881 in Paris, France and was self-taught as an artist. He began painting at the advent of the 20th century, producing colorful compositions that leaned towards post-Impressionist symbolism. By 1910, Gleizes had reduced his work to primary form and, in tandem with peers like Jean Metzinger, like Fernand Léger, and Henri Le Fauconnier, helped form the geometric underpinnings of Modern Art by co-publishing the seminal treatise Du Cubisme in 1912.
Throughout his extensive and prolific career, he participated in important exhibitions and noteworthy historic movements, such as co-founding the Section d’Or group, exhibiting in the 1913 Armory show in New York, and publishing a number of writings on critical theory, abstraction, and philosophy. Gleizes died on June 23, 1953 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, and his work can be found across the globe in institutional collections like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Tate in London.
