Portrait of Maurice Raynal 1911

Juan Gris's "Portrait of Maurice Raynal" (1911) is a Cubist portrait of the French art critic Maurice Raynal. The painting, known for its geometric forms and fragmented planes, showcases Gris's mastery of the Cubist style. The subject's face is broken down into a series of interlocking shapes, with the background and clothing similarly dissected. Gris's use of bold colors and angular lines creates a dynamic and visually stimulating composition, highlighting the influential critic's personality through this innovative artistic approach.
