Man on a Balcony (also known as Portrait of Dr. Théo Morinaud and ‘L’Homme au balcon) is a large oil painting created in 1912 by the French artist theorist and writer Albert Gleizes (1881–1953). The painting was exhibited in Paris at the Salon d’Automne of 1912 (no. 689). The Cubist contribution to the salon created a controversy in the French Parliament about the use of public funds to provide the venue for such ‘barbaric art’.
