Albert Gleizes (1881-1953) Danseuse, 1923 Gouache on paper 10-5/8 x 8-1/4 inches (27 x 21 cm) Signed and dated lower right: Alb Gleizes 23 PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF ELAINE AND PERRY SNYDERMAN PROVENANCE: Galerie Atlantis, Paris; Galerie Paul Vallotton, Lausanne; Galerie Römer, Zurich; Galerie John Berggruen, San Francisco; Judith L. Posner & Associates, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1990. EXHIBITED: Galerie Paul Vallotton, Lausanne, "Maîtres Suisses et Français de XIXe Siecles," 1989, no.35. LITERATURE: A. Varichon, Albert Gleizes catalogue raisonné, Volume I, Paris, 1998, p. 343, no. 1021, illustrated in black and white. NOTE: Albert Gleize’s 1923 Danseuse, a masterful trompe-l’oeil Cubist composition, appears to be an abstract collage of cut papers; closer scrutiny, however, reveals a dancer with flesh-colored face, arm, and leg, the overlapping, fragmented, and painted shapes becoming her twirling skirt and the spinning room around her.
