Description

''La Chasse'' is an oil painting on canvas with dimensions 123.2 by 99 cm (48.5 x 39 inches) signed "Albert Gleizes", lower right. Painted in 1911. In this outdoor hunting scene the

line is almost on top of the canvas. Seven people are present, along with numerous animals.P. Alibert, ''Albert Gleizes, naissance et avenir du cubisme'', Saint-Etienne, 1982, p. 71 A man with a hunting horn (''Cor de chasse, la trompe du piqueur'') can be seen in the foreground, his back turned to the viewer, with a group of hunting dogs to his right. Men on horses prepare for departure. Tension is in the air as the hunters and animals interact with one another. Another hunter on foot holds a gun in the background with a woman and child nearby and a village beyond. Spatial depth is minimized, the overall composition flattened, yet distances to the viewer are determined by the relationship of size; the further the object, the smaller in appearance. The faceting however does not partake in the size-distance relation, as one would expect. The hunting dogs to the lower right, for example, are treated with similar sized 'cubes' as the elements in the upper portions of the canvas; corresponding to the background. The hunting horn in the foreground is almost identical in size and in faceting to the trees in the distance. The same rounded shapes espouse the spherical surfaces formed by the horses heads. This serves to counter the illusion of depth; each portion of the canvas equally important in the overall composition. With its epic subject matter—far removed from neutral themes of the ''fruit dish'', ''violin'', and ''seated nudes'' exhibited by Picasso and Braque in the private boutique of Kahnweiler—''The Hunt'' was destined form its very inception to be exhibited at the 1911

, at the Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées; a huge public venue where several thousand viewers would see the works exhibited. Gleizes rarely painted still lifes, his epic interests usually finding sympathetic echos in more inclusive themes, such as ''La Chasse (The Hunt)'' and the monumental '' Harvest Threshing (Le Dépiquage des Moissons)'' of 1912. He wished to create a heroic art, stripped of ornament and obscure allegory, an art dealing on the one hand with relevant subjects of modern life: crowds, man and machines, and ultimately, the city itself (based on observations of the real world). And on the other, he wished to project tradition and accumulated cultural thought (based on memory).Robbins, Daniel, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, ''Albert Gleizes, 1881-1953, A Retrospective Exhibition'', 1964
/ref> Gleizes continually stressed subjects of vast scale and of provocative social and cultural meaning. He regarded the painting as a manifold where subjective consciousness and the objective nature of the physical world could not only coincide but also be resolved.
Here Gleizes not only created a synthetic landscape, in which elements are placed in unreal but symbolic relationships to each other, but also created a synthesis of social experience, showing two distinct types of human use of the land. Le Fauconnier painted a similar subject 'Le Chasseur''the following year. Dorival has suggested that the treatment of the horses may well be an important source for those of Duchamp-Villon in 1914. ..In his

attempt to organize in plastic terms the abstract equivalent of his earlier broad panoramas, Gleizes reverted to the tilting planes reminiscent of smaller ones in such volumetric cubist works as ''The Hunt'' and ''Jacques Nayral'', both of 1911. ( Daniel Robbins, Guggenheim, 1964)

(1908), this is the first time the word 'Cubism' is used. The designation becomes widespread as an artistic movement.Robert Herbert, Neo-Impressionism, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York, 1968Daniel Robbins, Jean Metzinger: At the Center of Cubism, 1985, Jean Metzinger in Retrospect, The University of Iowa Museum of Art, p. 11 The term ''"Cubisme"'' is accepted in June 1911 as the name of the new school by Guillaume Apollinaire, speaking in the context of the Brussels Indépendants which includes works by Gleizes, Delaunay, Léger, Le Fauconnier and André Dunoyer de Segonzac. Over the Summer of 1911, Gleizes, living and working in Courbevoie, is in close contact with Metzinger, who has recently moved to Meudon. Gleizes paints Le Chemin, Paysage à Meudon. The two have extensive conversations about the nature of form and perception. Both are discontent with classical perspective, which they feel give only a partial idea of the subject matter as experienced in life, seen in movement and from many different angles.

, occupying rooms 7 and 8 of the salon. At about the time of this exhibition, through the intermediary of Apollinaire, Gleizes meets Picasso and sees his work along with that of Braque for the first time. He gives his reaction in an essay published in ''La Revue Indépendante''. He considers that Picasso and Braque, despite the great value of their work, are engaged in an ''Impressionism of Form'', i.e., they give an appearance of formal construction which does not rest on any clearly comprehensible principle. ..We went to Kahnweiler's for the first time and saw the canvasses of Braque and Picasso which, rightly or wrongly, did not thrill us.

. The studios of Jacques Villon and Raymond Duchamp-Villon at 7 rue Lemaître in the Parisian suburb Puteaux, become, together with Gleizes' studio at Courbevoie, a regular meeting places for the Cubist group. The Puteaux studios share a garden with the studio of František Kupka, the Czech painter who is developing a non-representational style based on music and the progressive abstraction of a subject in motion. The critic Jean Claude writes, in a review of the 1911 Salon d'Automne titled ''Cubistes, Triangulistes, Trapézoïdistes et Intentionnistes'', published in Le Petit Journal:
There is a cubist art... Those who doubt can go into the room where enclosed are the productions of wild beasts 'fauves''who practice it... You will see there the ''Paysage lacustre'', by Le Fauconnier, the ''Jeune homme et Jeune fille dans le printemps'', mosaic of yellow, green, brown and pink, represented by small trapezoids of color, juxtaposed, the ''Paysage'' and ''Goûter'' by Jean Metzinger, classic cubist... A ''Marine'' by Lhote who invented the cubistic water. A ''figure nue'' by de la Fresnaye, which seems made with wooden bricks, and a mind-boggling ''Essai pour trois portraits'' by Fernand Léger. There too, Gleizes, a ''Chasse'' and a ''Portrait'', which I find deeply regrettable, because the author, once, proved he had talent. Non of this would have any importance if these horrors did not take up space that could be usefully occupied by other works, and if, above all, a few snobs did not offer them to the crowds as the last canons of modern beauty. But, really, extravagance, has it ever been art? And can art survive without beauty and without nobility? The Cubists and other "artists" will hardly make us forget Ingres, Courbet or Delacroix. So much for them. To be continued. (Jean Claude)
Gleizes later recalled of the two major 1911 Salons:
It was at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris in 1911 that, ''for the first time'', the public was confronted with a collection of paintings ''which still did not have any label attached to them''. ..br>
Never had the critics been so violent as they were at that time. From which it became clear that these paintings—and I specify the names of the painters who were, alone, the reluctant causes of all this frenzy: Jean Metzinger, Le Fauconnier, Fernand Léger, Robert Delaunay and myself—appeared as a threat to an order that everyone thought had been established forever. ..br>
With the Salon d'Automne of that same year, 1911, the fury broke out again, just as violent as it had been at the Indépendants. I remember this Room 8 in the Grand Palais on the opening day. People were crushed together, shouting, laughing, calling for our heads. And what had we hung? Metzinger his lovely canvas entitled ''Le Goûter''; Léger his sombre ''Nus dans un Paysage''; Le Fauconnier, landscapes done in the Savoie; myself ''La Chasse'' and the ''Portrait de Jacques Nayral''. How distant it all seems now! But I can still see the crowd gathering together in the doors of the room, pushing at those who were already pressed into it, wanting to get in to see for themselves the monsters that we were.

The winter season in Paris profited from all this to add a little spice to its pleasures. While the newspapers sounded the alarm to alert people to the danger, and while appeals were made to the public authorities to do something about it, song-writers, satirists and other men of wit and spirit, provoked great pleasure among the leisured classes by playing with the word 'cube', discovering that it was a very suitable means of inducing laughter which, as we all know, is the principle characteristic that distinguishes man from the animals.

The contagion, naturally, spread in proportion to the violence of the effort that was being put into stopping it. It quickly went beyond the frontiers of its country of origin. Public opinion throughout the world was occupied with Cubism. As people wanted to see what all the fuss was about, invitations to exhibit multiplied. From Germany, from Russia, from Belgium, from Switzerland, from Holland, from Austro-Hungary, from Bohemia, they came in great numbers. The painters accepted some of them and writers like Guillaume Apollinaire, Maurice Raynal, André Salmon, Alexandre Mercereau, the advocate-general Granié, supported them in their writings and in the talks they gave.

Originally written by Gleizes in 1925 and published in a German version in 1928, under the title ''Kubismus'', in a series called ''Bauhausbücher''

In his review of the 1911 Salon d'Automne published in L'Intransigeant, written more as a counterattack in defense of Cubism, Guillaume Apollinaire expressed his views on the entries of Metzinger and Gleizes:
The imagination of Metzinger gave us this year two elegant canvases of tones and drawing that attest, at the very least, to a great culture... His art belongs to him now. He has vacated influences and his palette is of a refined richness. Gleizes shows us the two sides of his great talent: invention and observation. Take the example of ''Portrait de Jacques Nayral'', there is good resemblance, but there is not one form or color in this impressive painting that has not been invented by the artist. The portrait has a grandiose appearance that should not escape the notice of connoisseurs. This portrait covers evêta grandiose appearance that should not elude connoisseurs... It is time that young painters turn towards the sublime in their art. ''La Chasse'', by Gleizes, is well composed and of beautiful colors and sings hantantGuillaume Apollinaire, ''Le Salon d'Automne'', L'Intransigeant, Numéro 11409, 10 October 1911, p. 2

Art market

Gleizes had always detested the art market falsified by a speculation on works of art imposed by the fantasy of fictitious bids to push up the prices in the public sales. When

, whom Gleizes found the most sympathetic of the art dealers, offered to push up the price of his pre-war painting ''La Chasse'', which was coming up for auction. Gleizes replied that he preferred to buy it himself and therefore wanted the price to be as low as possible.
