This is an incomplete list of works by the French modern artist Jean Metzinger (June 24, 1883 – November 3, 1956).
[...] In an attempt to understand the importance of Jean Metzinger in Modern Art, we could limit ourselves to three considerations.
In taking into account these various factors, we can understand why Metzinger must be included among that small group of artists who have taken a part in the shaping of Art History in the first half of the Twentieth Century.
[2][3][4] Metzinger, a sensitive and intelligent theoretician of Cubism, sought to communicate the principles of this movement through his paintings as well as his writings.
He was also a published writer and theorist, not only on the topic of Cubism (for which he was the first with Note sur la peinture, 1910), but on the arts in general, on other artists, such as Henri Le Fauconnier, Robert Delaunay, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Albert Gleizes and Alexandre Mercereau.
