Violin and Ink Bottle on a Table 1913 — Fine Art

The violin and ink bottle on a table 1913 breaks the two objects into planes and edges. Warm brown and grey sit against a cooler background, so the tabletop reads first.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The shapes lean toward each other without a clear centre. Juan Gris works in synthetic cubism here.

The frame finish can follow the room: a light frame on a dark wall, a dark frame on a pale wall, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture. Think of a kitchen wall near the range hood, where you see the warm tones before the outlines. From the sink you catch the bottle first, then the violin.
