Man In A Hammock
''L'Homme au hamac'', also referred to as ''Man in a Hammock'', is a painting created in 1913 by the French artist, theorist and writer Albert Gleizes. The work was exhibited at Moderni Umeni, SVU Mánes, Vystava, Prague, February – March 1914, no. 41; and ''Der Sturm'', Berlin, July – August 1914. The painting was reproduced in Guillaume Apollinaire, ''Paris-Journal'', July 4, 1914 (published again in ''Chroniques d'Art'', 1960. p. 405); and Albert Gleizes, ''L'Épopée'', Le Rouge et le Noir, October 1929, p. 81. Stylistically Gleizes' painting exemplifies the principle of mobile perspective laid out in ''Du "Cubisme"'', written by himself and French painter Jean Metzinger. Evidence suggests that the man reclining in the hammock is indeed Jean Metzinger. Formerly in the collection of Metzinger, the first owner of the painting, ''Man in a Hammock'' forms part of the permanent collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York.

He was also a member of ''Der Sturm'', and his many theoretical writings were originally most appreciated in Germany, where especially at the Bauhaus his ideas were given thoughtful consideration. Gleizes spent four crucial years in New York, and played an important role in making America aware of modern art. He was a member of the Society of Independent Artists, founder of the Ernest-Renan Association, and both a founder and participant in the Abbaye de Créteil.
