ALBERT GLEIZES

 

Initially, Gleizes was influenced by the impressionist movement. It was during this time that, at the age of 21, his work was exhibited at the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1909, he began to be influenced by Fernand Leger, Robert Delauney, and Jean Metzinger. It was this influence that eventually lead Gleizes to his well-known cubist style. By 1915, his style had become abstract. His work is housed in many notable museum collections including: the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Guggenheim, Venice; and the Tate Gallery, London.
