Juan Gris was a well-known cubist artist, and his works are considered to be among the most characteristic of the style as a whole. His artwork is as important to this movement as that of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, two artists he admired and looked up to for ideas.
<h3>How does this artwork reflect the post-World War I era in which it was created?</h3>
This artwork shows the industrial and modernist influences in art that created a drive towards more expressive and thought-provoking works during that time period. Those influences may be seen in this painting. Cubism was a movement that was still new during its time, filling the void left by fine art, which had been thought of as the only legitimate art up until that point.
We are able to discern that this does not yet represent a broken cubist view of reality, which is something that can be observed in some of Picasso's later works. It is constructed more in the style of a collage, including recognizable items such as a glass bottle, a guitar, a newspaper, and a fruit dish. This piece reflects the bridge of experimentation that was being built at the time when society was still in the process of making the transition toward newer forms of art. These experiments are still not as modernistic as surrealism, pop art, and other modern art movements are going to be in the future.
