Following this salon Metzinger writes his important Note sur la peinture article (published in Pan (Paris), October–November 1910), depicting the new art movement of Pablo Picasso , Georges Braque , Robert Delaunay and Henri Le Fauconnier , noting that these artists (himself included) "discarded traditional perspective and granted themselves the liberty of moving around objects."
