クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「Juan Gris' stark contrast between black and white forms in this still-life composition is profoundly Spanish — and here the Madrid-born artist offered a modern take on the old master practice of painterly chiaroscuro.⠀ .⠀ The artist offered his own assessment of his painting in 1919: 'For some time I have been rather pleased with my own work because I think that at last I am entering on a period of realization.' Gris went on to explain how he had become more poetic in his work, '[ridding] my painting of a too brutal and descriptive reality.'⠀ .⠀ The artist added: 'I hope that ultimately I shall be able to express very precisely, and by means of pure intellectual elements, an imaginary reality. This really amounts to a sort of painting which is inaccurate but precise, just the opposite of bad painting, which is accurate but not precise'.⠀ .⠀ 📍 Available via Christie's Private Sales.
