The concept of observing a subject from different points in space and time simultaneously multiple or mobile perspective "to seize it from several successive appearances, which fused into a single image, reconstitute in time" was also developed by Metzinger in his article, [29] and to some extent in an article entitled Note sur la peinture , published in Pan , Pictorial space has been transformed by the artist into the temporal flow of consciousness.
Quantity has morphed into quality, creating a 'qualitative space', "the pictorial analogue", write Antliff and Leighten, "to both time and space: Metzinger's interests in proportion, mathematical order, and his emphasis on geometry, are well documented. While taste in Tea Time was denoted by one of the five senses, it was also connoted for those who could read it as a quality of discernment and subjective judgement. This painting, writes Christopher Green, "can seem the outcome of a meditation on intelligence and the senses, conception and sensation.
The commentary is heavily ironic, with the headline reading Ce que disent les cubes What the cubes say The complex forms that defined Metzinger's paintings of the period serve to suggest the underlying imagery e. No longer did the artist have to define or reproduce, painstakingly, the subject matter of a painting.

The artist became to a large extent free, libre , to place lines, shapes, forms and colors onto the painting according to his or her own creative intuition. A similar concept lies behind Albert Gleizes' portrait of his friend, neo-Symbolist writer Joseph Houot, pen name Jacques Nayral , who in would marry Mireille Gleizes, the sister of Albert Gleizes. He embraced an anti-rationalist and anti-positivist world-view, consistent with concepts that underscored Cubist philosophies. Nayral's interest in philosophy led him to correspond with Henri Bergson , someone who would greatly inspire both Metzinger and Gleizes.
Nayral's related interest in avant-garde art led him to purchase Metzinger's large oil on canvas entitled La Femme au Cheval , also known as Woman with a Horse Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen. The following edition of Fantasio 1 November began with "A Consultation at the Salon d'Automne" by Roland Catenoy; a suppository report of a walk around the Grand Palais accompanied by two medical men who offer their 'diagnosis' of the paintings on display.
Just as Louis Vauxcelles made the Cubists' repudiation of "current vision" appearances in nature the crux of his attacks, so most of the jokes in the press at the expense of Cubism centered on the question of likeness. If Metzinger's Tea-Time was not like its sitter, what could it mean? Take the example of Portrait de Jacques Nayral , there is good resemblance, but there is nothing [not one form or color] in this impressive painting that has not been invented by the artist.
The portrait has a grandiose appearance that should not escape the notice of connoisseurs. Already we can see, as a consequence of this movement introduced into an art which, we were told, had no relation to movement, a plurality of perspective points. These architectural combinations of cubes supported the image as it appears to the senses, that of a woman whose torso is naked, holding in her left hand a cup while with the other hand she lifts a spoon to her lips.
It can be easily understood that Metzinger is trying to master chance, he insists that each of the parts of his work must enter into a logical relationship with all the others. Each should, precisely, justify the other, the composition should be an organism as rigorous as possible and anything that looks accidental should be eliminated, or at least kept under control. None of that prevented either the expression of his temperament or the exercise of his imagination.
Peter Brooke writes of Metzinger's Tea-Time: We can see clearly how the lines interact with each other. Roger Allard remarked that the general public viewing the works Metzinger, Gleizes and Le Fauconnier at the Salon d'Automne of found the "deformation of lines" less humorous than the "deformation of color", except with regards to the human face.

In , as the key area of likeness and unlikeness, they more than anything released the laughter. Just before the Salon d'Automne—Metzinger had already placed the last brushstroke of paint of Tea Time —Gleizes published a major article [41] about Metzinger, within which he argued that 'representation' was fundamental, but that Metzinger's intention was 'to inscribe the total image'. This total image 'combined the evidence of perception with 'a new truth, born from what his intelligence permits him to know'.
Such 'intelligent' knowledge, writes Green, "was the accumulation of an all-round study of things, and so it was conveyed by the combination of multiple viewpoints in a single image. Metzinger's Tea-time, a work that attracted much attention at the Salon d'automne of , is like a pictorial demonstration of Gleizes's text. Multiple perspectives and a firm overall geometric structure almost a grid take control of a near pornographic subject: The Cubists had become by a legitimate target for critical disdain and satirical wit. Claude of Le Petit Parisien accused the salon cubists of arrivisme , Janneau for Gil Blas questioned the sincerity of the cubists, and Tardieu in Echo de Paris condemned "the snobbery of the gullible which applauds the most stupid nonsenses of the arts of painting presented to idiots as the audacities of genius.
Vauxcelles, perhaps more so than his fellow critics, indulged in witty mockery of the salon Cubists: Vauxcelles was more than just skeptical. His comfort level had already been surpassed with the works of Matisse and Derain , which he perceived as perilous, 'an uncertain schematization, proscribing relief and volumes in the name of I know not what principle of pictorial abstraction.
His concerns deepened in as the work of Le Fauconnier, Delaunay, Gleizes and Metzinger emerged as a unifying force. He condemned 'the frigid extravagances of a number of mystificators' and queried: Indeed are they fooled themselves? It's a puzzle hardly worth solving. Metzinger dance along behind Picasso, or Derain, or Bracke [sic] Herbin crudely defile a clean canvas — that's their mistakes. We'll not join them The result was a public scandal which brought Cubism to the attention of the general public for the second time. Apollinaire took Picasso to the opening of the exhibition in to see the Cubist works in Room 7 and 8.
Reviewing the Salon d'Automne of , Huntly Carter in The New Age writes that "art is not an accessory to life; it is life itself carried to the greatest heights of personal expression. It was at the Salon d'Automne, amid the Rhythmists, I found the desired sensation. The exuberant eagerness and vitality of their region, consisting of two room remotely situated, was a complete contrast to the morgue I was compelled to pass through in order to reach it.
