jean dominique antony metzinger -lrb- june 24 , 1883 -- november 3 , 1956 -rrb- was a major 20th-century french painter , theorist , writer , critic and poet , who along with albert gleizes , developed the theoretical foundations of cubism .
his earliest works , from 1900 to 1904 , were influenced by the neo-impressionism of georges seurat and henri-edmond cross .
between 1904 and 1907 metzinger worked in the divisionist and fauvist styles with a strong cézannian component , leading to some of the first proto-cubist works .
from 1908 metzinger experimented with the faceting of form , a style that would soon become known as cubism .
his early involvement in cubism saw him both as an influential artist and principal theorist of the movement .
the idea of moving around an object in order to see it from different view-points is treated , for the first time , in metzinger 's `` note sur la peinture '' , published in 1910 .
before the emergence of cubism , painters worked from the limiting factor of a single view-point .
metzinger , for the first time , in `` note sur la peinture '' , enunciated the interest in representing objects as remembered from successive and subjective experiences within the context of both space and time .
jean metzinger and albert gleizes wrote the first major treatise on cubism in 1912 , entitled `` du `` cubisme '' '' .
metzinger was a founding member of the section d'or group of artists .
