Guitar and Glass 1912

"Guitar and Glass" is a 1912 Cubist painting by Juan Gris. The artwork depicts a fragmented guitar, a glass, and sheet music in a geometric composition. The use of flat planes, overlapping shapes, and a limited palette of browns, blacks, and whites are characteristic of Gris's style. This artwork is a prime example of Synthetic Cubism, where the artist integrates elements from the real world into a flat, abstract form, breaking down the objects into their essential geometric components, and reassembling them in a new way.
