Table Overlooking the Sea 1925

"Table Overlooking the Sea" (1925) by Juan Gris is a prime example of Cubist still life. The composition, with its fragmented forms and overlapping planes, evokes a sense of depth and movement. Geometric shapes dominate the scene, creating a sense of structure and order. The vibrant palette of colors, particularly the rich reds and browns, contributes to the artwork's bold and striking presence. The inclusion of a painter's palette with brushes, a book, a musical instrument, and fruit in a bowl suggests an artist's studio, further emphasizing the theme of creativity and artistic expression.
