About this artwork
Painted in 1917, this work by Juan Gris takes two everyday things, a glass and a checkerboard, as its subject. Gris was a Spanish painter born in Madrid who worked mainly in France, and he is closely tied to Cubism. Here the title points to a still life of ordinary objects, the kind of subject a Cubist painter could break into shapes and look at from more than one angle. The work is oil paint on panel.
On your wall: Its modern, abstract character suits a study, living room or hallway where a considered still life can sit alongside clean lines and simple furnishings.
