Juan Gris: Bottles and Bowl (c. 1913 Cubist Art Print)

Acquire a masterpiece of structural precision and intellectual depth with this stunning reproduction of Juan Gris's Bottles and Bowl. Painted around 1913, this work is a definitive example of Synthetic Cubism, celebrated for its complex geometric clarity and rich color palette.

Juan Gris (born José Victoriano González-Pérez) was a Spanish painter who spent his artistic career in Paris and quickly became the most rigorous and analytical mind among the Cubists.

• Synthetic Cubism Defined: This painting exemplifies Synthetic Cubism, the later phase of the movement (c. 1912 onwards). Unlike Analytical Cubism, which broke objects down into fragments, Synthetic Cubism builds the object up using simplified, flat, interlocking planes. The forms of the bottles and the bowl are reconstructed from geometric shapes, often creating a shallow, tightly focused space.

• Color and Texture: Gris introduced a more vibrant and systematic use of color than his predecessors, grounding the abstract forms with rich hues. He also frequently experimented with collage or papier collé (though this painting may not be one), using realistic textures (like faux wood grain or newspaper print) to contrast with the flat, painted planes and create visual tension.

• Intellectual Precision: Gris believed in painting by the rules—he first conceived the overall structure and then integrated the subject matter. This still life embodies his intellectual rigor, making it a critical work that demonstrates the evolution of the Cubist style from fractured analysis to bold, constructive synthesis.

This print is an essential acquisition for collectors of Cubism, Modernist art, and works that explore the geometry and structure of 20th-century avant-garde movements.
