Still Life on a Chair 1917 — Fine Art

A chair sits in the middle of Still Life on a Chair 1917, painted in clear blocks of colour. Thick paint covers the seat and the leg, with a few short strokes along the edge.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The paint sits on the surface and catches the light in small patches. Juan Gris builds the object from a few flat areas and a dark outline.

You get a metal hanger on the back that fits onto a nail or screw, so the print goes up without a frame. It works on a narrow wall above a desk in a study, where you notice the dark outline of the chair leg from across the desk.
