Guitar and Fruit Dish 1919 — Fine Art

Guitar and Fruit Dish 1919 by Juan Gris sets a guitar beside a shallow dish against a shallow field of tone. The painted planes meet in clean lines. The brushwork is steady and the edges stay sharp. Some colour patches sit side by side without blending. You can see the plan of the picture in the way the forms cut across each other.

This fine art print sits in a frame with a back panel. It comes assembled when you use the ready to hang option. The matte paper keeps the soft tones from shining under a lamp. The frame adds a plain edge around the printed image.

In a dining room sideboard you notice the guitar neck first, then the dish near it. From the kitchen doorway the flat colour blocks read as clear shapes rather than a blur.
