The vertical composition is divided, fragmented or faceted into series of non-Euclidean spherical arcs, hyperbolic triangles, rectangles, squares, planes or surfaces delineated by contrasting form.''Jean Metzinger in Retrospect'', Joann Moser, with an essay by Daniel Robbins, The University of Iowa Museum of Art, J.

period such as '' (The Blue Bird)'' exhibited at the in the spring of 1913—there can be found in a continuity that transits between the foreground and background. For example, the two boats in the 'background' are smaller than the boat in the 'foreground' within which the model is sitting, consistent with classical perspective in that objects appear smaller as distance from the observer increases. However, to be perfectly consistent one would expect the boat on the top left of the composition to be smaller still than the boat just left of the models head. There is no perspectival fusion between objects close and far, yet the notion of depth perception has not been abolished. Overall, the spatial attributes of the scene are disjointed and flattened to the point where no absolute frame of reference can be determined.Daniel Robbins, "Jean Metzinger, At the Center of Cubism", in ''Jean Metzinger in Retrospect'', The University of Iowa Museum of Art, J.

's '' Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2'' and could also be read into Metzinger's work of 1910–1914, though rather than simultaneously superimposing successive images to depict the motion, Metzinger represents the subject at rest viewed from multiple angles; the dynamic role is played by the artist rather than the subject. Though not the first painting by Metzinger to employ the concept of multiple perspective—three years had passed since he first propounded the idea in , published in 1910— arguably exemplifies such pictorial processes, while still maintaining elements of recognizable form (the number 3, perhaps suggestive of a regatta, the woman, the umbrella, the boats); the extreme activity of geometric faceting visible in is not pushed to the point that any understandable link between physicality or naturalness is lost to the viewer. Yet, what is achieved is fundamentally anti-naturalistic. The color schemes of other paintings executed during the same period, such as , , () or (''Woman with a Fan''), suggests that at the time of painting Metzinger had already moved away from the limited palette of 1911 and 1912. On the opening day of the 1913 Salon d'Automne, art critic Louis Paillard, in a review published in , writes of Metzinger's entry: Guillaume Apollinaire, in his review of the published in , writes of ():

The changes it had already undergone since the Indépendants of 1911 could leave people in no doubt as to its nature. Cubism was not a school, distinguished by some superficial variation on a generally accepted norm. It was a total regeneration, indicating the emergence of a wholly new cast of mind. Every season it appeared renewed, growing like a living body. Its enemies could, eventually, have forgiven it if only it had passed away, like a fashion; but they became even more violent when they realised that it was destined to live a life that would be longer than that of those painters who had been the first to assume the responsibility for it.Albert Gleizes, ''The Epic, From immobile form to mobile form, 1913–1914'', First published in German, entitled ''Kubismus'', 1928. The French version, ''L'Epopée'' (The Epic), was published in the journal ''Le Rouge et le Noir'', 1929. The first version was written in response to an invitation from the Bauhaus in 1925.
