This painting shows a still life with sharp, flat shapes. A bottle, a pitcher, and a few other objects sit on a table. The colors are mostly browns, blacks, and whites, with some red and green mixed in. The lines are bold and angular, breaking up the scene into geometric blocks. The artist used multiple materials—ink, crayon, and paint—to build up the image in layers. The objects look simplified, almost like a puzzle made of shapes. Look up Juan Gris next to see more of his work.
