Portrait of Picasso

Gris idolized Picasso. A clever tribute to his mentor, his portrait depicts Picasso (founder of Cubism) in the Cubist style. Palette at the ready, Picasso is literally larger than life (taking up most of the space on the canvas). Working primarily in cool hues of blue, gray, and brown, he fractures the sitter's face into a prism of planes and geometric shapes that resolve into the parallel lines in the background. All parts of this picture seem to be in motion.

Description

Juan Gris

Friend of Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris (1887 - 1927) was a Spaniard from the Paris school. He is considered a pioneer of Cubism. Unlike Picasso, his work did not evolve outside of Cubism, which he raised to a high degree of classicism, like Georges Braque. The theme of still lifes had its preference over other subjects.

His life was short-lived, which perhaps explains why his work has evolved little apart from cubism. He approaches first in an analytical and then synthetic spirit, following the two leaders of the movement, Picasso and Braque. Like Picasso, Juan Gris escaped the Great War because he was Spanish and therefore of neutral nationality. He settled in the Pyrenees and then in Touraine, in his wife's native region.
