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.
