33. … Then there is Le Fauconnier, who, jealous of the Cubist Metzinger, became trapezoid… and painted
something of the sort he titled, I think, L’Abondance… Metzinger himself painted nudes that look like
puzzles, the pieces of which are cubes of various sizes; F. Léger lacking originality, adopted stove pipes
as a means of reproduction of the human figure… The other, which I have never been able to guess
the name, uses small checkerboards, gray and white, white and black, gray and brown, pink and black,
and painted an Eiffel Tower flanked on the ground undoubtedly to crush houses, which, while dancing
the cancan, stuffed their chimneys through the windows. A talented artist, Albert Gleizes, also
allowed himself to try a trianguliste representation of the human figure. This is sad, deeply.
