Coffee Grinder and Glass 1915 — Fine Art

Coffee Grinder and Glass 1915 by Juan Gris shows a coffee grinder beside a glass against a divided ground. The painted planes meet in clean lines and the colours stay flat and steady. Juan Gris built this kind of still life from careful blocks of tone.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A white frame keeps the painted edges open and lets the flat colours hold the centre. A dark wood frame gives the picture a firm border that separates the grinder from the ground.

In a kitchen on the wall above the kettle the grinder reads as a simple object on the shelf. From the table you see the hard edges of the glass and the quiet plane behind it.
