Guitar and Fruit Dish — Fine Art

A guitar and a fruit dish rest on a painted ground, the shapes divided into clear sections. The lines hold their place while the colour moves between one area and the next. Juan Gris builds the scene from flat planes and a steady hand. The hand stays quiet across the page.

The picture arrives as a fine art print with a frame in white, wood, dark wood or black. The frame gives the picture a clear edge so the separate planes stay easy to read from the door.

It works above a sideboard in a dining room, where the table below holds the same kind of dish and fruit. From the breakfast chair you see the stacked planes first, then the guitar curves as you move past the doorway.
