Brooke, Peter. ALBERT GLEIZES: For and Against the Twentieth Century. xi and 336 pp., 161 colour and b&w illustrations. 4to, cloth. New Haven, Yale University Press, 2001.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Few painters lived the intellectual adventures of the early twentieth century as intensely as Albert Gleizes. At the center of the public scandal over Cubism that broke out in Paris in 1911, he was with Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia in New York during the war and was one of the first European avant-garde artists to respond to the scale and vigor of New York life. Gleizes was also one of the few French painters of the 1920s to recognize non-representational painting as the logical development of Cubism. Gleizes' work as a painter is accompanied by an immense body of theoretical work, addressing the question posed so starkly by Duchamp and Picabia: why should we paint?
