{"product_id":"fruit-dish-glass-and-newspaper-juan-gris","title":"Fruit Dish, Glass and Newspaper - Juan Gris","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1916 Synthetic Cubist still life by Juan Gris, featuring a fruit dish, glass, and newspaper rendered in a precise, geometric style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuan Gris, a central figure in the development of Synthetic Cubism, produced this work in 1916. The composition features a characteristic arrangement of everyday objects: a fruit dish, a glass, and a copy of the newspaper Le Journal. Gris employs a rigorous geometric approach, breaking down these forms into overlapping planes and angular segments. Unlike the earlier, more fragmented Analytic Cubism, this piece demonstrates a clearer structure where the objects remain identifiable despite their flattened, abstract presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour palette is restrained, relying on warm ochres, deep browns, and black tones to create a sense of depth and texture. The wood-grain effect applied to the background surfaces adds a tactile quality, grounding the composition in a domestic setting. The inclusion of the newspaper title, Le Journal, is a common motif in Cubist works, serving as a graphic element that bridges the gap between the painted surface and the reality of the viewer. Gris balances the composition through the careful placement of these objects, ensuring that the eye moves across the canvas in a controlled manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the artist's methodical approach to painting. Gris often spoke of his process as a form of deduction, where he would start with an abstract idea and gradually introduce specific objects to give the work form. The result is a highly disciplined image that avoids unnecessary detail. The sharp edges and clear lines define the boundaries of each object, creating a sense of order within the complex arrangement of shapes. This print captures the precision of the original oil painting, offering a clear view of the artist's technique and his contribution to the modernist movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/cubist-composition-auguste-herbin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCubist Composition - Auguste Herbin — Auguste Herbin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/avoirdupois-max-weber\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAvoirdupois - Max Weber — Max Weber\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Juan Gris","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58344860746063,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58344863301967,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58344863334735,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58344863367503,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58344863400271,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58344863433039,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58344863465807,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58344863498575,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58344863531343,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58344863564111,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58344863596879,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58344863629647,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Fruit-Dish-Glass-and-Newspaper_Poster_CompositorV1_1785384121081.jpg?v=1785385363","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/fruit-dish-glass-and-newspaper-juan-gris","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
