Abstraction 1915

Juan Gris's "Abstraction" from 1915 is a prime example of Cubist art. The painting showcases the fragmented forms and geometric shapes characteristic of the movement. It is composed of various geometric shapes, predominantly rectangles and triangles, in contrasting colors, with a focus on browns, blues, and greens. The artist uses a flat, two-dimensional style, rejecting traditional perspective and depth. This focus on geometric forms and abstract compositions, rather than realistic representation, defines the Cubist movement.
