Jean Metzinger was a prominent 20th-century French painter, theorist, writer, critic, and poet recognized for his significant contributions to Cubism. He explored various artistic styles before delving into Cubism, where he emerged as a key figure and advocate of the movement. Metzinger collaborated on the initial major Cubism treatise and was a founding member of the Section d’Or collective of artists. His involvement in World War I saw him play a pivotal role in advancing Cubism, co-establishing the Crystal Cubism phase that emphasized the role of mathematics in art.
