Violin and Guitar 1913

"Violin and Guitar" is a Cubist painting by Juan Gris from 1913. Gris was a Spanish artist who was highly influenced by the style of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. This painting is a prime example of the Cubist movement, which broke down objects into geometric shapes and rearranged them on the canvas to create a new form. The painting shows a violin and guitar, but their forms have been broken apart and reassembled in an abstract way, using vibrant colors and bold lines to achieve a sense of depth and dimensionality. The painting is an example of Gris's signature style, which used sharp angles, distinct colors and a fragmented approach.
