Investigating the Authenticity and Attribution of Paintings and Drawings believed to be by or attributed to;

Jean Dominique Antony Metzinger

Jean Metzinger

French, 1883-1956

 Metzinger was a leading theorist in the Cubism movement and became famous for his treatise entitled Du Cubisme written in 1912 in collaboration with Albert Gleizes. He was a member of the Section d'Or - itself an offshoot of the Parisian Puteaux Group - which consisted of a number of Cubist painters and other practitioners of abstract art from the Paris School.

 Poorly emulated and often faked, there are clearly many works that are misattributed, either mistakenly or deliberately!

With the inclusion of an initialled monogram, or a copied signature placed on a work of art of a similar type or subject matter, or one applied to a previously unsigned, or student of the arts copied work, where the original signature has been deleted, it is no wonder that question marks can and do often arise about the authenticity of some Jean Metzingers' paintings.

Fine Art Authentication

  Both the duration and direction of any attribution or authenticity investigation will naturally vary from project to project, but there are well defined professional formalities, responsibilities and areas of scrutiny that we can assist you with including:

Authentication:  Conducting and directing comprehensive investigations and in depth research, with a view to establishing a correct, full and formally recognised certification of a work of art. One that is absolutely upheld by the appropriate, legally acknowledged and internationally sanctioned authority, body or expert on that given artist.

Directing detailed and complicated inquiries with multilingual, international academic research and any forensic applications that are required.

 Attribution:  Identifying and confirming the identity of a previously anonymous artist, studio or workshop from which a work of art most likely originated. Including the re-examination and investigation of a previous attribution which may be incorrect, or the scrutiny of an attribution that has been formally questioned or doubted.

 Confirmation:  Undertaking research and investigations into the legitimacy of the provenance, history and prior ownership of a work of art and establishing its own accuracy.

 Scrutiny:  Identifying fake works of art and forgeries, including any false supportive accompanying documentation and determining works of art which may be studio or later copies, or previous incorrect attributions.

 Prosecution:  Investigating alleged art fraud and forgery and assisting and advising those who are , or may be considering litigating or prosecuting the fact. This includes legal professionals and private clients.

 Attention:  Conducting all fine art related due diligence and duty of care inquiries. Including safe prepurchase or sale related audits and assisting clients in consolidating a well balanced future family distribution.

 Appraisal: Valuations, quality and condition reports.

Step one in the Art Authentication and Attribution process.

Jean Metzinger - The Pre-Authentication Assessment.

    Sensibly, before you begin any art authenticity, legitimacy, or any artist attribution investigation, it is more than wise to have an impartial preliminary assessment of the viability of the project conducted first. Made to independently and rationally balance any negative issues there may be against the positive elements. Treat this study as your safety net.

 We will be happy to professionally undertake this for you, based upon good quality images that you supply and all the known facts regarding its acquisition, the history and provenance of the work of art as is known to you.

You will then have a far better understanding of the prospects and pitfalls that could lie ahead.

ABOUT PAINTING DESCRIPTORS AND TERMINOLOGY.

Jean Dominique Antony Metzinger

  It is important to understand the auction terms used in any published descriptor and to be cautious of works that may just be painted in the style or manner of the artist, or even stylized would be copies of his works which happen to bear a signature or monogram.

In this case Jean Dominique Antony Metzinger.

If Jean Metzinger is given with the first name/s and surname of the artist, then in their opinion it is the genuine and authentic item, one painted by the artist himself.

But if Jean Metzinger; is described as “Attributed to Jean Metzinger, then in their opinion it is 'probably' a work by the artist, at least in part. But no guarantee. It's only an opinion.

When Jean Metzinger; “Studio of ….” or “Workshop of Jean Metzinger or or "atelier"  Means in their opinion it is a work executed in the studio of the artist. Possibly by an apprentice or a pupil under the principal artists supervision.

But if the term Jean Metzinger, or “Circle of Jean Metzinger ” is used, then in their opinion, it is a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence, or closely associated with the artist BUT not necessarily by his pupil or student.

Jean Metzinger; Painted in the “Style of ….” or “Follower of Jean Metzinger, his means that in their opinion it is a work of art executed only in the artist’s style, but not necessarily by a pupil. But it may be contemporary, or nearly contemporary.

If Jean Metzinger; in the “Manner of, is used….” In their opinion it's a work painted in the style of the artist but of a later date and definitely not by the artist himself.

The term “After….” Jean Metzinger; is used, then In their opinion it is a copy (made at any date) of an authentic and original work by the artist.

Jean Metzinger; “Signed…”, “Dated….” or “Inscribed” In their opinion the work has been signed/dated/or inscribed by that specific artist. The addition of a question mark however, indicates an element of doubt.

The term Jean Metzinger is followed by the words; "With signature ….”, or “With date ….” or “With inscription….” or “Bears signature Jean Metzinger /date/inscription” Then in their opinion, the signature / date / or inscription is spurious, forged or has been added by someone else other than the artist.

We can assist and advise you in all fine art related matters.
