About the work
Heir to a large banking fortune, Albert Eugene Gallatin started collecting art at the age of 17, forming an important collection of American and European modernist art following World War I. He began to paint in 1926, studying in Paris and paying frequent visits to the studios of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris. The present collage suggests the strong influence of their brand of Synthetic Cubism. Gallatin’s collection was given to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1943.
