In the manner of Albert Gleizes "Guitar With Vase" pastel on paper circa. 1929, private collection approx. 9x11in. Best known for his involvement with the Cubism movement, Gleizes was one of the Cubist painters who belonged to the Parisian Puteaux collective and who exhibited at the latter's show at Salle 41 of the 1911 Salon des Independants. The following year, along with Jean Metzinger (1883-1956), he co-wrote the first treatise on Cubism entitled Du Cubisme, whose publication was timed to coincide with the famous group show of the Section d'Or, a Cubist group of which he was a founder member. It is his theoretical analysis of Cubism, rather than his painting, for which Gleizes is best known and upon which his reputation in 20th century French painting is based
