	Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Jean Metzinger was born in Nantes on 25 June 1883, where he also spent his entire youth.
		Metzinger's works around 1909 finally document a move towards what was later referred to as analytical Cubism, but was initially rejected completely by the critics.
		Metzinger was appointed to teach at the Académie de la Palette, later the Académie Arenius.

		For Metzinger, Cubism was a system by which multiple perspectives could be juxtaposed on a single plane; his almost monochromatic palette meant that the viewer is not distracted from the study of perspective.
		Metzinger was an early proponent of Cubism and wrote some of the first important theoretical essays on it.
		Metzinger himself often experimented with Cubist techniques, but his work differs from other Cubists in that his paintings retain a recognizable scene, here a landscape, a fairly rare subject for the early Cubists, with a system of mathematically calculated proportions, planes, and angles superimposed on it, like a grid.

		Jean Metzinger was born in Nantes, France, on June 24, 1883.
		Metzinger was the first to note in print that Picasso and Braque had dismissed traditional perspective and merged multiple views of an object in a single image; his article on this subject appeared in Pan in 1910.
		In 1913 Metzingerï¿½s work was again shown at the Salon dï¿½Automne, and he continued to exhibit in the principal salons of Paris thereafter.

		Metzinger uses a light color scheme, a varying painting style, and a simplified composition to glorify farming and depict it in a light and happy mood in contrast to the Industrial Revolution’s ills.
		This feeling comes from the way Metzinger uses the pastel colors that he dabs on the canvas in such a way that the imagination runs wild, allowing the viewer to interpret the scene in his or her own way.
		Metzinger would use this effect later in his Cubist paintings to let the viewer add the details (Metzinger 16).

	Jean Metzinger Biography - Picassomio.com
		A French painter of international acclaim, Jean Metzinger worked in a cubist style.
		His work can be divided into two stages; first cubism until around 1921, and later work characterized by a greater classicism and realism.
		Metzinger was one of the most important spokespersons for the Cubist movement in its early years, as well as one of the earliest and most important theoreticians.

		Both Metzinger’s Cubist and Fauvist use of smooth lines and curvature, in addition to contrasting brightness, also contribute to the sense of surrealism while at the same time reflecting the peaceful and serene mood of the countryside.
		Metzinger uses a variety of Fauvistic and Cubistic techniques such as color, lighting, curvature, and placement to create a surreal and fantastical image that glorifies and praises agricultural life.
		Metzinger views agriculture at the time of this painting to be an ideal lifestyle, yet one that is fading as a result of industrialization.

		Inscribed on the reverse of the canvas is the date 1904, indicating that it was painted soon after Metzinger's arrival in Paris, at the height of the Fauvist movement led by Matisse.
		Fauve painting is characterized by brilliant color and simplified forms, celebrating emotions inspired by nature, as opposed to the imitation of nature.
		In this landscape, the vibrant color patches are far from naturalistic, depicting instead the exuberance inspired in the artist by the scene.

		He was associated with the Fauves for a while, but he was more interested in structure than in color and, along with Braque, Gleizes, and Metzinger, he readily became a cubist around 1909.
		Jean Metzinger was a fellow instructor there in 1912 and 1913.
		Le Fauconnier was also associated with the Munich based group, the Neue Künstlervereinigung, but resigned from that group, along with other artists, in 1911, in a protest against the rejection of a composition by Kandinsky.

		Thus, from the age of 20, Metzinger supported himself as a professional painter, a fact that may account for some of the shifts to which his art submitted in later years.
		By the time he began dating his works around 1905 he was an ardent participant in the Neo-Impressionist revival led by Henri Edmond Cross and Seurat, he arrived at Cubism via Neo-Impressionism and Fauvism.
		Although Metzinger's laborious Cubism is no longer so seductive, he remains known as one of its most perceptive theoreticians.

		They were referred to as the 'Salon Cubists' participating in the spring Salon des Independants and the fall Salon d'Automne, and were thus the public face of Cubism.
		Metzinger, Gleizes and Fauconnier published explanations of their complex interests and aims around this time while the Kahnweiler group did not.
		Allard identified Fauconnier, Gleizes and Metzinger as the progenitors of a new movement in his review of the Salon d'Automne.

		Her development as an artist was encouraged through private lessons and frequent travel, which brought her into contact with a broad range of historical examples, from Italian Renaissance art and Russian medieval icons to Cubism and other Western vanguard styles.
		In 1912 she went to Paris with fellow painter Nadezhda Udaltsova to study painting at the Académie de la Palette under André Dunoyer de Segonzac, Henri Le Fauconnier, and Jean Metzinger.
		There she mastered the Cubist idiom and was probably exposed to Italian Futurism, the two styles that would dominate her paintings of the next three and a half years.

		Metzinger once described Fauvist painting as "taking our hint from Nature, to construct decoratively pleasing harmonies and symphonies expressive of our sentiment." In this landscape, the vibrant color patches are far from naturalistic, depicting instead the exuberance inspired in the artist by the scene.
		— Au Vélodrome (1914, 130x97cm; 573x429pix; 118kb) _ Jean Metzinger, a sensitive and intelligent theoretician of Cubism, sought to communicate the principles of this movement through his paintings as well as his writings.
		Though these devices are handled with some awkwardness and the influence of Impressionism persists, particularly in the use of dots of color to represent the crowd in the background, this work represents Metzinger’s attempt to come to terms with a new pictorial language.

		They are two painters, Albert Gleizes, thirty-one years old, and Jean Metzinger, twenty-nine years old.
		Braque likes to say that Picasso and he shared "thoughts." Here, to the contrary, Cubism is analyzed, explained, legitimized.
		Even if Gleizes and Metzinger are not themselves the founders of the new movement, their work is of immediate interest, as we can see from the following excerpt.
