The Pipe 1916 — Fine Art

The Pipe 1916 by Juan Gris builds the scene from flat colour planes and thin drawn edges. The pipe shape sits on a divided painted ground beside a few simple objects. Juan Gris worked in the synthetic cubism style, using outlined forms and clear colour blocks.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A white frame sets the edges against the painted ground without a hard line. A dark wood frame gives the picture a firm edge on the wall and pulls the darker tones in the image forward.

In a study, the picture reads from the desk chair as a calm arrangement of planes and outlines. From the doorway you notice the pipe form and the quiet colour blocks before the small drawn details.
