Serene landscape view
Create an evocative acrylic painting à la Juan Gris, depicting a dramatic scene in Guinea-Bissau at sunset during a long-ago volcanic eruption. In the foreground, a lone sourwood tree stands resilient against the fiery sky, its branches twisted and charred from the intense heat. Volcanic ash blankets the landscape, transforming it into a surreal tapestry of gray and orange. A small river, once clear, now flows with molten lava, reflecting the fiery hues. Birds take flight, their silhouettes […]

Hotspur🏳️🌈🇺🇦"Coffee Grinder and Glass," Juan Gris, 1915.
Spanish-born Gris (1887-1927), my favorite Cubist, did all his major work in Paris, where he immersed himself completely in the avant-garde art scene.
He actually started as a cartoonist in Madrid before casting that aside and taking off for France. It almost makes sense for him, a satirist with a jaded eye for society and humanity, to fling himself into a new art movement.
Here we have a work from when he was on the verge of his "Crystal Cubism" period, featuring sharp angles and a blurring not only of objects and surface, but also of subject and background. The skewed perspective of the glass, newspaper, and coffee grinder are expected, but it takes a moment to realize that repeated pattern to the left is a venetian blind, with the skewed perspective and angles that are classical Cubist.
Other Cubists tend to annoy me, I have to admit, but I love Gris' clean lines and willingness to engage with the viewer rather than hold them at a distance.

"Portrait of Josette Gris," Juan Gris, 1916.
I've talked about Gris before, so I'll skip any biography.
But I will reiterate that I generally don't care for Cubism, unless it's Gris. Here we see a turning point in the style; rather than simple experimentation for its own sake, we have Cubism actually attempting to achieve some continuity with traditional painting. Gris here actually paints a recognizable portrait of his wife, here in a pose reminiscent of earlier artists like Corot.
It's still experimental, especially with its use of black and gray, with only one or two bits of actual color...but it's a memorable image. And for my money, worth more than any other Cubist's work. (Heresy, I know.)

"The Open Window," Juan Gris, 1921.
Gris (1887-1927) is my favorite Cubist, which is pretty remarkable because I don't care much for Cubism overall. However, the strength of his line, and his willingness to experiment with a three-dimensional attitude, and how he makes his paintings comprehensible while still unmistakably Cubist just amazes me.
Here, we have a guitar, some sheet music, a bottle, a cup, and a bowl of nuts before an open window. But the window frame is askew and doesn't match up with the shutters. the sheet music intersects bizarrely with the bowl of nuts, and the clouds from the outside view are also inside. And yet...it all makes a certain sense. Gris was experimenting with perspective, light, and shadow, and it all works beautifully.
He died young, never moving on from Cubism, which may seem sad but he leaves a solid legacy.

"Guitar with Inlays," Juan Gris, 1925.
And hello again to my favorite Cubist, Juan Gris (1887-1927). I've talked about him before so I won't repeat myself. He's been described as perhaps the purist Cubist; he died young and thus never moved away from the style.
Like many Cubists, he was fascinated by musical instruments, and being a Spaniard, it seems natural he'd be drawn to the guitar. Here we have a still life that's fairly representational but still undeniably Cubist, with a bowl of grapes, a pipe, a book (or is it sheet music?), and of course, the inlaid guitar.
This is an example of what became known as Synthetic Cubism, where they became more representational, but would also depict objects as being broken into component shapes, often asymmetrical and out of perspective, so while they're recognizable, they're still off-kilter. Gris does a good job with it.
