Le Broc 1920

"Le Broc" (1920) by Juan Gris is a prime example of Cubist still life painting. The artwork presents a fragmented, geometric composition of a pitcher, a glass, a piece of fruit, and a newspaper, with elements of the setting integrated into the form. The flat planes of color, fractured shapes, and overlapping forms create a sense of depth and dimensionality, characteristic of Gris' artistic style. This painting reflects the Cubist movement's exploration of abstract forms and the representation of multiple perspectives simultaneously.
