-Cubism
-Juan Gris (José Victoriano González-Pérez) was a Spanish painter and sculptor known for his significant contributions to the Cubist movement. He was associated with artists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who pioneered Cubism in the early 20th century. Gris' style was characterized by geometric shapes, overlapping planes, and a subdued color palette, which he used to deconstruct and reconstruct objects and scenes in a fragmented, abstract manner. His works often depicted still lifes and interiors, exploring the interplay of form, space, and light through a Cubist lens. Gris' innovative approach to composition and his intellectual engagement with the principles of Cubism made him a central figure in the development of modern art.
