Tabac, Journal Et Bouteille De Vin Rosé 1914

"Tabac, Journal Et Bouteille De Vin Rosé" (1914) by Juan Gris is a prime example of the artist’s signature Cubist style. The painting features a still life composition of a bottle of wine, a pack of cigarettes, and a newspaper, fragmented and rearranged in a geometric fashion. Gris, a key figure in the Cubist movement, utilized collage, a technique which added a tangible, real-world dimension to his compositions. This work is a testament to Gris's mastery of this innovative approach, showcasing his ability to transform everyday objects into abstract compositions. This artwork is a classic example of Cubism's exploration of form, space, and perspective, and is notable for its use of collage and flat, geometric shapes.
