About the piece
Painted in 1913, 'The Guitar' is an exceptional example of Juan Gris's mature Synthetic Cubist style. The composition fragments its musical subject into a rhythmic interplay of teal, mint, and ochre planes, showcasing the artist's mastery of structural balance and subtle faux-texture within a complex modernist framework.
