Still Life on Plaque 1917

"Still Life on Plaque" is an oil painting by Juan Gris from 1917 that is a great example of Cubist art. Gris, a Spanish painter, used a combination of geometric shapes and forms to depict the everyday objects in the composition in a fragmented and abstract manner. The flattened planes and overlapping shapes create a sense of depth and movement. The painting's color palette is muted and subdued, with shades of gray, brown, and green dominating the composition. This work reflects Gris's exploration of Cubism, a style that emerged in early 20th century Paris.
