 In an open-handed preface to the catalogue of the Brussels Indépendants show, Apollinaire stated that these 'new painters' accepted the name of Cubists which has been given to them.He described Cubism as a new manifestation and high art ["manifestation nouvelle et très élevée de l'art"], not a system that constrains talent ["non-point un système contraignant les talents"], and the differences which characterize not only the talents but even the styles of these artists are an obvious proof of this.The artists involved with this new movement, according to Apollinaire, included Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Fernand Léger, and Henri Le Fauconnier.
