Glass and Water Bottle 1917

"Glass and Water Bottle" is a Cubist artwork by Spanish painter Juan Gris, created in 1917. Gris is known for his contributions to Cubism, a movement that challenged traditional methods of representing the world, emphasizing geometric shapes and fragmented forms. This artwork is a prime example of Gris's style, depicting a still life with a bottle and glass through a fragmented and abstract composition. The painting is characterized by bold geometric shapes, flat planes, and a limited color palette, emphasizing the interplay of form and space. The work showcases Gris's mastery of Cubism, as he skillfully deconstructs the subject matter, revealing the underlying structure and essence of the objects.
