After Jean Metzinger (French, 1883-1956): Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left: Metzinger, June 1918. Label on reverser with tax stamps dated 1960, Peru. Framed.

Jean Dominique Antony Metzinger was a major 20th-century French painter, theorist, writer, critic and poet. From 1908 Metzinger experimented with the faceting of form, a style that would soon become known as Cubism. His early involvement in Cubism saw him both as an influential artist and an important theorist of the movement. Metzinger was at the center of Cubism both because of his participation and identification of the movement when it first emerged. La Tricoteuse is one of his major paintings, and is now in the collection of the Musee Nacional d'art Moderne in Paris.
