The Puteaux district on the left bank in western Paris was the home of the legendary Section d鈥橭r cubists such as
Andr茅 Lhote,
Juan Gris,
Jean Metzinger and
Jacques Villon, formed in 1911. The group evolved over the years developing the Cubist principles and applying them in new and diverse ways. This exhibition at HFA brings together post-war works by Andr茅 Lhote, whose theories perhaps most defined the legacy of the group; alongside the generation of post-war Puteaux
artists Reynold Arnould,
Jean Chevolleau,
Christine Boumeester,
Henri Goetz,
Jean Marzelle,
Marie Raymond, and
Alfred Reth, who maintained the close communal sprit whilst re-inventing the Cubist idiom through their own distinct oeuvres.
