Auguste Herbin

"The young Herbin exhibited around 1911 with Braque and other cubists. He aligned with Metzinger's academic cubism. The "Figure Study" is reminiscent of Picasso's watercolor studies of nudes around 1908. Herbin was later to become a well-known abstractionist after second World War." 19th & 20th century art from collections of alumni & friends; inaugural exhibition, September 11 - November 8, 1970, Elvehjem Art Center (1970)
