Life
Gleizes, a nephew of the painter Léon Comerre , trained as a technical draftsman, was a co-founder of the Salon d'Automne and a member of the Section d'Or and is considered a representative of Cubism . He underpinned his painterly work with the publication of several art historical and art historical writings. Together with Jean Metzinger , for example, he wrote the treatise “Du Cubisme” in 1912 and thus used the value-free term “Cubism” for the first time. During the First World War he lived in the USA from the end of 1915.
Gleizes founded the Moly-Sabata artisan community in 1927 , created murals for the 1937 Paris World Exhibition and received the Grand Prix at the French Biennale in Menton in 1951 .
In the last years of his life he mainly painted religious motifs. Gleizes died in Avignon in 1953.
Gleizes' nephew was the naval officer and deep-sea explorer Georges Houot (1913-1977).
