Albert Gleizes, born on December 8 in Paris, and died on June 23, 1953 in Avignon, was a self-taught painter, draughtsman, engraver and art theorist. The paintings and drawings of Albert Gleizes had a profound impact on the Cubist movement, the School of Paris, and modern American painting. 

He joined the Cubist artists in 1910 and exhibited at the Salon des indépendants. In 1912, he published, with Jean Metzinger, "Du Cubisme", establishing him as one of the main theorists of the avant-garde movement. His paintings and drawings of the 1910s are recognisable by their compositional spirit and unstructured geometry. In the 1920s, he produced "object paintings" in a post-Cubist vein. Albert Gleizes joined the Abstraction-Création movement in 1931, and from 1935 onwards he devoted himself to sacred art. 

During his lifetime, Albert Gleizes was able to exhibit in the mythical places devoted to the avant-garde, such as the Salon des indépendants or the Galerie La Boétie. The paintings and drawings of Albert Gleizes circulate in large numbers and are highly sought after on the art market.
