Summary: "With Cubism in Color: The Still Lifes of Juan Gris, the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) and The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) have joined forces to offer a new look at the Spanish artist's pioneering contributions to the Cubist movement by focusing on his fascination with subjects drawn from everyday life. The first monographic exhibition to be presented on Juan Gris (1887-1927) in more than thirty-five years in the United States, our project explores the transformation of his innovative aesthetic and his principal motifs over the course of his tragically short career"-- Provided by publisher

Description and Table of Contents

Description

Restoring a "perfect painter" to the Cubist canon Juan Gris (1887-1927) was central to the development of Cubism in the early 20th century. Though the writer and art collector Gertrude Stein considered him a "perfect painter," Gris's pivotal role within the movement has often been overshadowed. Cubism in Color: The Still Lifes of Juan Gris reveals the virtuosic range of the artist's short yet prolific career, illuminating his boundary-pushing contributions to Cubism. As a thorough examination of Gris's still lifes, Cubism in Color provides an important reassessment of this underappreciated artist, reestablishing his position as a modernist master. This fully illustrated volume traces the evolution of Gris's aesthetic and approach to still life through a selection of key works. It includes original essays by leading scholars in the field, offering new insights on Gris's elusive artistic process, the history of collecting his work in the United States and his native Spain, and his artistic legacy within modern and contemporary Latin American art. Distributed for the Dallas Museum of Art and The Baltimore Museum of Art Exhibition Schedule: Dallas Museum of Art (March 14-July 25, 2021) The Baltimore Museum of Art (September 12, 2021-January 9, 2022)
