Newspaper and Fruit Dish 1916 — Fine Art

Newspaper and Fruit Dish 1916 by Juan Gris shows a folded newspaper and a fruit dish placed on a table. The picture splits the objects into flat coloured planes, a method seen across the artist work. Colours stay muted, with grey and ochre tones holding the scene together.

This is a fine art print set in a frame, with a back panel. The paper is matte, so the grey tones keep a soft look and the flat surfaces do not shine under a lamp. The assembly sits ready to hang when the ready to hang option is used.

In a kitchen on the wall beside the window, you see the folded paper edge first, then the dish rim. At the table level the flat planes read as clean blocks, one behind the other.
