About the piece

Painted in 1915, 'The Breakfast' is a masterful example of Juan Gris's Synthetic Cubist period. The composition fragments everyday objects—a coffee grinder, a newspaper, and glassware—into a rhythmic interplay of bold geometric planes and a sophisticated palette of emerald green, deep blue, and rich earth tones.
