Focus on this artwork and analyze the Eugène Figuière.
La Revue Indépendante began publication in June 1911 under the patronage ('Dépôt générale') of Eugène Figuière, later publisher of  Du "Cubisme" and of Apollinaire's Aesthetic Meditations - The Cubist Painters. According to Gladys Fabre, Figuière's publishing house opened in 1910 was a successor, via the Bibliothèque des douze and the Oeuvres du jour to the Abbaye de Créteil's own publishing house which, after the closure of the Abbaye itself in 1908, had continued in Paris. The contributors included the poet Paul Fort together with Alexandre Mercereau, Paul Castiaux, H.M. Barzun, Roger Allard and, quite prominently, Jacques Nayral, Gleizes' friend and later brother in law, subject of the great portrait which must have been done about this time. Nayral had contributed previous pieces in the series L'Art et ses représentants, on Mahler and on the writer Gaston Deschamps (1861-1931). Daniel Robbins' Albert Gleizes, 1881-1953, A Retrospective Exhibition, Guggenheim, 1964, mentions another article in the series by Gleizes, on Le Fauconnier, but this does not seem to have appeared in print.
