Original artwork description:

Likewise Picasso and Braque Juan Gris too was known as a Cubist and identified by at least one critic as "Picasso’s disciple." Gris’s style draws upon Analytic Cubism.

Here he fractured his sitter’s head, neck, and torso into various planes and simple, geometric shapes but organized them within a regulated, compositional structure of diagonals.

Although it hard to see on my painting Gris depicted Picasso as a painter with palette in hand. This portrait demonstrates Gris’s respect for Picasso as a leader of the artistic circles of Paris and as an innovator of Cubism. By painting it again I show my respect for both artists.

Materials used:

Acrylic on masonite
