The Lemon (Juan Gris)

In this still life, Juan Gris focuses on a single fruit, the lemon, to create a work of great strength. The bright yellow lemon is at the center of the composition, its brilliant color contrasting with the surrounding blacks, whites, and grays. The composition is a play of geometric shapes, with overlapping planes that create a sense of depth. The word "JOURNAL" is visible on a fragment of paper. It is a work that shows Gris’s ability to transform a simple object into a subject of great visual and poetic intensity.
