Chessboard, Glass and Dish (Juan Gris)

This still life is an intellectual construction of great mastery. Juan Gris organizes the composition around a green chessboard, whose perspective is distorted. The objects, a glass and a dish, are fragmented and seen from different angles, creating a dynamic vision of the scene. The color palette, dominated by ochres, greens, and blacks, is both sober and rich. The light seems to come from multiple sources, sculpting the shapes and creating areas of shadow and clarity. It is a work that invites reflection, a game of the mind as much as a pleasure for the eyes.
