Jean Dominique Antony Metzinger (French: [mɛtsɛ̃ʒe]; 24 June 1883 – 3 November 1956) was a major 20th-century French painter, theorist, writer, critic and poet, who along with Albert Gleizes wrote the first theoretical work on Cubism.
Jean Metzinger was an artist and prominent member of the French avant-garde. Metzinger was best known for Cubist paintings such as Le goûter (Tea Time) (1911), which combined the Divisionist brushstrokes of Georges Seurat with modeled forms and multiple angles.
A proponent of Cubism, Metzinger was a member of the Puteaux Group of artists and coauthor of the 1912 book Du Cubisme. This painting is part of a series of still lifes from 1916–19 characterized by distorted space, strongly defined planes, and broad shapes rendered in flat colors.
