Still Life with Bottle and Cigars 1912 — Fine Art

A bottle and a few cigar bands rest on a shallow painted field in Still Life with Bottle and Cigars 1912. The shapes split into clear planes of warm brown and grey. Juan Gris handles the objects with the steady marks of synthetic cubism.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. A white frame gives the picture a clean edge against the painted planes, while a wood frame sits warmer beside the brown passages. Dark wood puts a stronger line around the grey shapes, and black keeps the border quiet.

In a dining room, the bottle plane reads first from the table, and the cigar bands show up when you pass the sideboard. The frame edge keeps the scene from drifting into the wall.
