After a stay in Collioure in 1911 with Henri Matisse, Albert Huyot
between 1912 and 1920 is very much closer by his drawings and his
collages of what Guillaume Apollinaire calls "physical cubism". Like
Henri Le Fauconnier, or Jean Émile Laboureur, he builds solidly his
constructions, synthesizes them by refraining from pushing until the
extreme rigor, until drought and austerity. His fine line, softened by
hatching, brings grace to the geometric analysis of volumes. Thus, when
the cubist painter Pierre Hodé took the initiative in 1922 to organize a
section of French art at the Erste Internationale Kunstaustellund
(First International Art Exhibition) in Düsseldorf, Albert Huyot's name
was found in the participants. Epistolary documents state that the
friends and confidants of Albert Huyot are then Marcel Gromaire and
Conrad Kickert.
