La Fresnaye is an important but often overlooked Fauve and Cubist painter who worked during the first 2 decades of the 20th-century. He studied at the Académie Julian in 1906, but contact with the proto-Cubist works of Cézanne and early Cubist works by Picasso and Braque were decisive influences. By 1910 there was a strong Cubist element in his own work, strengthened by his friendship with Robert Delaunay.
He served in the French army in World War I until 1918, when he was gassed. He only partially recovered before his tragic and early demise in 1925.
