Violin with Fruit 1924 — Fine Art

Violin with Fruit 1924 breaks a violin and a few pieces of fruit into flat planes of colour. Juan Gris uses thin outlines to hold the shapes together on the painted surface. A reader sees the drawn edges more clearly when the light falls sideways across the paper.

This fine art print sits in a frame with a back panel and arrives assembled when the ready to hang option is used. The matte surface keeps the flat colour planes soft under a lamp, which suits the clean outlined forms in the picture.

It fits above a sideboard in a quiet dining room. From the table you notice the grey violin shapes and the fruit planes, while the thin outlines keep the whole scene held together.
