Juan Gris Spanish 1887-1927
Still Life with a Guitar , 1913
Oil on canvas
Despite the apparent flatness of the composition, it suggests depth with bold colors and sudden changes in perspective. Gris painted this picture in Céret, a small town in the Pyrenees popular with artists, most notably Picasso, who spent the summer of 1911 and parts of 1912 and 1913 there.
