        <h1 class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Albert Gleizes (1881-1953)</h1>
      </div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/gliezes/Gliezes_PortraitofJacquesNayral1911.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of Jacques Nayral, 1911</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Albert Gleizes was born in Paris, the son of a fabric designer and nephew to famed portrait painter Leon Comerre. As a child, Gleizes was more interested in daydreaming and writing poetry than in going to school. He spent four years in the army before he became interested in painting. His earliest pieces were landscapes, painted probably in an Impressionistic hand with little formal training. Gleizes would eventually exhibit his work with the Societe National des Beaux-Arts in 1902, and again at the Salon d’Automne the following year.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Grande Composition, 1922</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/gliezes/Gliezes_CompositionsurfondBleu.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Composition sur Fond Bleu</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/gliezes/Gliezes_Landscape1914.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Landscape, 1914</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">It is said that Gleizes was a very religious man, and this is resonated in a number of his compositions. In fact, many credit Gleizes as being the founder of modern religious art.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/gliezes/Gliezes_TheThreeElements.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Three Elements</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Increasing influence from his fellow painters eventually brought Gleizes into Cubism. He worked and lived with other artists communally until World War I, when he re-enlisted in the army. While in service, he was put in charge of entertainment for the troops. As a result of this, Gleizes met John Cocteau and was asked to design his set for a run of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/gliezes/Gliezes_PortraitofJeanCocteau1916.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of Jean Cocteau, 1916</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/gliezes/Gliezes_LeCubismeenMajeste.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Le Cubism en Majeste</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/gliezes/Gliezes_NatureMorteauDamier1924.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Nature Morte au Damier, 1924</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">After he returned from the war in 1915, Gleizes moved to New York with his new wife. Together they would travel to Spain and Bermuda, and during this time, he briefly returned to writing poetry. Gleizes would also paint landscapes while in Bermuda, but his career as an artist had begun to slow down, and he became more interested in teaching at this time. From this point on, Gleizes would lecture about all forms of art from the newly created Abstract art to art history in Poland, Germany and France. While Gleizes wasn’t creating nearly as many paintings as before, he was still often commissioned to create murals and other public art pieces.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Woman with Animals, 1914</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/gliezes/Gliezes_LePort.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Le Port</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Gleizes work was highly admired by Peggy Guggenheim, and in the 1930’s, she purchased a great deal of his work, which now is housed in the Guggenheim collections. Gleizes was awarded the Prix de Rome and the Legion of Honor, respectively, in 1951 and continued to paint right up until his death in 1953. Although, today his name may not ring familiar, Gleizes had just as much an impact in the art world as his contemporaries. However, because he traveled so extensively, and exhibited widely across Europe and the United States, the possibility of owning one of his pieces is great.</p>
