More about this artwork

Juan Gris's "Woman with Mandolin" (1916) is a poignant example of Cubism, a movement pioneered by artists who aimed to bring different views of subjects together in the same picture, resulting in paintings that appear fragmented and abstracted. This painting depicts a woman seated with a mandolin, rendered predominantly in shades of dark and neutral colors with contrasting white and tan segments that interrupt and define the composition.Gris's work is characterized by its clear, precise lines and carefully constructed forms, which contrasts with the more fluid and less defined forms typical of his Cubist contemporaries like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. In "Woman with Mandolin," the overlapping geometric shapes create a dynamic interplay of form and space, allowing Gris to explore the boundary between two-dimensional depiction and three-dimensional form. The subtle intermingling of shades and the sharp, angular lines suggest both the depth and the flatness of the canvas simultaneously.This painting not only showcases Gris's unique approach to Cubism but also reflects the intellectual exploration of his era, where artists sought to challenge and redefine the conventions of visual representation.
