Guitar and Pipe 1913 — Fine Art

Guitar and Pipe 1913 by Juan Gris sets a guitar and a pipe against a plain ground. The forms break into flat coloured planes that overlap. Lines and curves meet in a steady arrangement. The image keeps the objects clear while splitting them into separate blocks.

This fine art print hangs on the wall with a frame finish that follows the room. A light frame works on a dark wall, a dark frame on a pale wall, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture. The matte paper keeps the greys and browns soft without shine under a lamp.

On a dining room wall near the serving hatch, the guitar neck and the pipe bowl stay readable from the table. Under a ceiling light the flat planes show their edges. The print sits quiet beside a chair leg.
