Juan Gris's "Glasses, Newspaper and Bottle of Wine" is a quintessential example of Cubist still life painting, known for its geometric fragmentation and multi-dimensional perspective. Gris, a prominent figure in the Cubist movement, utilizes a palette of muted browns, grays, and oranges to depict a seemingly simple scene of everyday objects in a manner that emphasizes their form and structure. The overlapping planes and fractured shapes create a sense of depth and ambiguity, challenging traditional notions of representation in art. The inclusion of text fragments, including the word "Serv" and "Eaux Blanc," further reinforces the Cubist emphasis on abstraction and the breakdown of visual perception.
