Bowl and Book 1927

Juan Gris's "Bowl and Book" (1927) is a prime example of Cubist art, depicting a bowl, a book, and a pipe in fragmented geometric shapes. The use of contrasting colors and sharp edges is characteristic of Gris's style, which emphasizes the flatness of the canvas and the interplay of form. Gris, a Spanish artist associated with the Cubist movement, was known for his still life paintings that explore the interplay of objects and abstract forms. The artwork is currently housed in a private collection.
