Guitar and Glass 1912 — Fine Art

Guitar and Glass 1912 breaks the instrument into flat sections that meet at sharp angles. The painted planes sit next to one another without a clear outline. Juan Gris builds the scene from plain coloured areas and a few lines that hold each shape in place.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The print keeps the matte paper finish, so the pale areas do not turn white under a lamp. A light frame on a darker wall lets the painted planes read as separate blocks instead of one flat sheet. The surface feels even across the whole picture.

On a kitchen wall beside a wooden table the painted lines hold their own against the grain of the wood. From the doorway you see the sharp corners of each plane, and the paper stays even under the kitchen light.
