Guitar, Book and Newspaper 1920

"Guitar, Book and Newspaper" (1920) by Juan Gris is a prime example of Cubist art, a style that emerged in the early 20th century. The painting is known for its geometric forms and fragmented perspectives, as seen in the overlapping planes of the guitar, book, and newspaper. The use of muted colors, predominantly shades of gray, brown, and blue, creates a sense of depth and texture. Gris was a leading figure in Cubism and this work exemplifies his mastery of the style.
