The guitar 1914

"The Guitar" (1914) by Juan Gris (1887-1927) is a prime example of Cubist art, demonstrating its signature geometric shapes and fragmented perspective. Gris, a prominent figure in the Cubist movement, utilized a collage-like technique to depict a still life composition, emphasizing the flatness of the canvas and playing with multiple viewpoints. The artwork's use of bold colors, primarily browns and golds, against a patterned background, highlights Gris' mastery in abstracting everyday objects, creating a visually engaging and thought-provoking piece.
