About this work
This painting was made during the so-called “intermediary” period during which Albert Gleizes adopted the fauve manner. Actually a transition towards cubism, the works of this period demonstrate this evolution.
Here his painting becomes more solid, the coloured surface becomes simpler and the explosion of colour draws in – in the foreground – the intermediary elements.
