Wholesale Guitar, Book and Newspaper (1920)

In "Guitar, Book and Newspaper," Juan Gris blends Cubism with a touch of classicism, using a muted palette of greys, blacks, and whites. This still life composition centers around a guitar, a book, and a newspaper, all rendered with precise geometric abstraction. The subtle interplay of light and shadow, combined with Gris's distinctive use of overlapping shapes, creates a sense of depth and harmony. This artwork is a testament to Gris's ability to transform everyday objects into a cohesive and captivating visual narrative.
