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"--

Review by Library Journal Review

Soon after arriving in Paris in 1906, artist Juan Gris (José Victoriano González-Pérez, 1887--1927) befriended Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. He considered the two his "masters," and his early Cubist works followed their artistic lead. Today, Gris is himself recognized as a Cubist innovator, admired for his aesthetic, technical skill, compositional logic, and use of color. These and other attributes are discussed in this exhibition catalogue's accessible text, which illuminates five distinct periods of Gris's still lifes between 1911 and 1927. Additional scholarly essays consider the role of still-life painting in Gris's oeuvre, the reception of his work in the United States, and his legacy. Small reproductions of his and his contemporaries' work accompany the essays, while high-quality full-page plates offer a close look at Gris's extraordinary Still Life: The Table (1914), Fantômas (1915), and more. VERDICT For libraries in cities that hosted the show (Dallas; now in Baltimore until Jan. 2022) and large collections seeking a comprehensive work on an often-overlooked artist.
