Coffee Grinder, Cup and Glass on a Table 1916

Juan Gris's "Coffee Grinder, Cup and Glass on a Table" (1916) is a prime example of Cubist still life. Gris, a Spanish artist who embraced the movement, utilizes geometric shapes and fragmented forms to depict a simple scene. The flat planes and overlapping forms create a sense of depth and dimension, while the muted colors and contrasting textures add visual interest. The work is a testament to Gris's mastery of form and color, showcasing his ability to imbue everyday objects with a sense of abstract beauty.
