Hardcover. Although he was never an official member of the Bauhaus, Albert Gleizes dedicated his influential essay on Cubism to the art school. In 1928, the editors Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Walter Gropius included this essay as volume 13 in the Bauhausbucher series. In addition to his own works, Gleizes shows artworks by Georges Braque, Robert Delaunay, Fernand Leger and Pablo Picasso as reference examples. He places the Bauhaus and its book series in an international context that captures the interaction of the numerous art movements of the time in an impressive way. AUTHOR: Albert Gleizes, a French painter and writer, is considered an important representative of Cubism. He described himself as the founder of this art movement throughout his life. Albert Gleizes and Jean Metzinger wrote the first major treatise on Cubism, Du "Cubisme", in 1912. Gleizes' many theoretical writings were originally most appreciated in Germany, where especially at the Bauhaus his ideas were given thoughtful consideration. 47 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

A key text of Cubism from the movement’s foremost theorist, in unique dialogue with the Bauhaus
French artist and theorist Albert Gleizes (1881–1953) wrote his influential essay on Cubism in 1912 in the aftermath of the Salon d’Automne exhibitions. In the new century, artists continued to subvert the already rapidly changing conventions of representational painting with a particular focus on form. Gleizes, aided by fellow artist Jean Metzinger, composed a treatise on the relatively new artistic movement in the hopes of convincing their audiences that Cubism was an unsubsidized pursuit with genuine intentions. Though Gleizes was never officially a member of the school, Bauhaus greats László Moholy-Nagy and Walter Gropius promoted his text as a companion piece to their other Bauhaus publications to emphasize the school’s international context.
As part of the publisher’s ongoing Bauhausbücher series, Lars Müller has released a facsimile edition of Gleizes’ text translated into English with the original design and typography.
