About the piece

Created in 1914, this work by Juan Gris is a definitive example of Synthetic Cubism. The artist masterfully blends oil paint with wood-grain textures to fragment familiar objects—a violin, sheet music, and a bottle—into a sophisticated arrangement of overlapping planes, highlighted by striking blues and a playful striped backdrop.
