This was the pivotal time when the Puteaux artists’ meetings commenced, where they rigorously discussed key concepts such as the Golden Ratio, Marey’s chronophotography, the fourth dimension, and Bergson’s philosophy. The Puteaux group firmly championed a version of Cubism that centered on the plastic representation of movement, in stark contrast to the Montmartre group led by Braque and Picasso, who adopted a more analytical approach to Cubism.
