Description
Summary:Max Weber returned to New York in January 1909 after living two and a half years in Paris. The pictures he made in France and those executed in 1909 in America show the influence of both Matisse and Cézanne, and his first work in a Cubist style (indeed, the first Cubist art to be produced in America), when it appeared in 1910, was an abrupt shift in direction. No adequate explanation for this noteworthy change is provided in the literature on Weber, although a number of writers have suggested that the work is strongly reminiscent of certain early Cubist paintings by Picasso, especially Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. 1
