Newspaper and Fruit Dish (1916) | Juan Gris | Abstract Geometric Art Print | Wall Frame

José Victoriano Carmelo Carlos González-Pérez, better known as the great Spanish cubist Juan Gris (1887-1927) was clearly ahead of Warhol and Lichtenstein when he painted his “cubism-meets-pop-art” painting Newspaper and Fruit Dish (Journal et Compotier), in March of 1916.

Just like Picasso and Braque, Gris (1887 – 1927), a student of mechanical drawing at the Escuela de Artes y Manufacturas in Madrid, was interested in playing with the idea of dual realities. Here he documents reality by citing a document of reality – a newspaper and represents dimension through unique visual tools. After all, how do you resent a three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional surface? The answer is light! Gris used a uniquely innovative technique to achieve that (colorful dotted fields).
