About the piece

Created in 1916, 'Grapes' is a quintessential example of Juan Gris's contribution to Synthetic Cubism. The work deconstructs a traditional still life arrangement—complete with a bowl of grapes and a fragment of 'Le Journal'—into a sophisticated architectural arrangement of overlapping planes. Its moody palette of forest green, ochre, and deep black gives the piece a grounded, modern presence.
