About the piece

Created in 1915, Albert Gleizes' 'Composition for Jazz' captures the syncopated energy of the era through a masterful Cubist lens. The work uses overlapping geometric planes and a dynamic palette of ochre, red, and black to suggest the fragmented forms of musical instruments and the movement of sound.
