"Auguste Herbin was a French painter who was a contemporary of and studiomate to the famed founders of Cubism: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris. Differentiating himself from his peers, Herbin’s work was most often aligned with geometric abstraction, though his earlier paintings were notably influenced by the aesthetics and ideas of New Objectivity and Surrealism. His practice culminated in his later, best-known abstractions which consist of flat, colorful compositions of triangles, circles, and rectangles that he described as his “alphabet plastique.”-artnet.
