About the piece
Created in 1916, this masterpiece by Juan Gris exemplifies Synthetic Cubism. The artist deconstructs the form of a guitar into a series of overlapping, sharp-edged geometric planes, utilizing a restrained color palette of deep charcoal, slate grey, and warm ochre to create a sense of structural rhythm and depth.
