GLEIZES (Albert) and METZINGER (Jean). Of "Cubism". Paris, Eugène Figuière et Cie, Collection " Tous les arts ", 1912, in-4°, 54 p., 32 plates (including intertitles), bound in half vellum, covers preserved (missing at the lower outer corner of the front cover; copy faded; numerous annotations in pencil). Mention " Second edition " on the front cover and not on the title. This mention is considered fictitious. Attached is a false title page from another copy bearing the following autograph dispatch signed by the authors: "to Mr Tabarant / sympathetic homage / AlGleizes / JMetzinger // 24 Av. Gambetta à Courbevoie / Seine". Adolphe Tabarant (1863-1850) was an anarchist who wrote several art books. Albert Gleizes (1881-1953) and Jean Metzinger (1883-1956) met in 1910 at the home of Alexandre Mercereau, who had been one of the founders of "L'Abbaye" in Créteil in 1906, with Vildrac and Duhamel. Their book was the first attempt to codify cubism, five years after "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon", and the same year that a dispersion of "cubist" painters occurred. Gleizes and Metzinger joined the "Golden Section", whose salon was held that year at the Galerie La Boétie, under the impetus of Marcel Duchamp and based on a theory of application in art of the golden ratio developed by his older brother Jacques Villon. Maurice Raynal and Guillaume Apollinaire were the defenders. Beautiful document.
