The French painter and theorist Jean Metzinger was “a bit of a magpie, and amalgamator of the innovations of Cubism and Futurism,” according to Sotheby's specialist Thomas Boyd-Bowman. His oil-and-sand painting Le Cycliste (1912), on the auction block in February 2020, exemplified his adept synthesis of these avant-garde principles to vividly evoke the speed and dynamism of the modern age.
