Oil painting in a long vertical composition depicting a well-lit room (sun appearing to come in from a window on left edge) with house plants on a checkered tile floor and a group of four cats (2 grey and white tabby, 1 calico, 1 white with a pink bow) looking up at a white cockatoo high above on its perch, who in turn is looking down at them below, crest up with an animated expression. Also visible are bits of leaves and flowers on the floor, perhaps from the cats' shenanigans (the white cat with the pink bow is sitting in one of the potted plants).

gallery label: “Jean Metzinger (1883-1956) Homme assis au chat (Seated Man with Cat), 1917-18 Oil on canvas 12 3/5 x 16 1/10 inches Collection of Arlene and Arthur S. Levine French painter and theorist Jean Metzinger contributed to the promotion of Cubism to the general public, more so than his contemporaries Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. He combined the Pointillist technique of Georges Seurat and Henri- Edmond Cross with the colorful Fauve aesthetic of Henri Matisse and Andre Derain, producing innovative compositions with modeled forms and multiple angles. Metzinger passionately advocated against traditional artistic approaches in such publications as Du cubisme (On Cubism), which he wrote with Albert Gleizes. Through his writing, he became one of the foremost theoreticians of the new avant-garde language, laying the theoretic foundations for Cubism. Through such paintings as this colorful composition, Metzinger captured a sense of pictorial dynamism and explored multiple perspectives, helping to bring about a shift in attitudes toward avant-garde art.
