Juan Gris

Juan Gris (1887–1927) was a Spanish painter and one of the foremost figures of Cubism, a revolutionary art movement that sought to break down traditional perspectives and present subjects in fragmented, abstract forms. Gris was known for his intellectual approach to Cubism, focusing on precision, clarity, and structure. His works often feature still lifes, portraits, and interiors, where geometric shapes and muted colors convey a sense of harmony amidst the complexity of his compositions. A key collaborator with Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Gris elevated Cubism to new levels with his meticulous technique and thoughtful approach. His legacy is marked by a masterful integration of color, form, and texture that continues to influence modern art.
