The Coffee Mill, 1916 (oil on canvas)
499963 The Coffee Mill, 1916 (oil on canvas)
by Gris, Juan (1887-1927); 74.61x57.59 (framed) 55x38 (unframed) cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: A member of Picassos intimate circle, Gris began painting austere Cubist compositions around 1910. After 1915, his compositions became more complex and his colors richer. This painting features a coffee mill, a bottle, and a wine glass on a table covered with a green cloth. The simulated wood-grain pattern on the coffee mills base, perhaps inspired by Picassos collage constructions, adds textural variety to this arrangement of fragmented and flattened geometric shapes.

The Coffee Mill, 1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Juan Gris that showcases his mastery of Cubist compositions. As a member of Picasso's intimate circle, Gris was heavily influenced by the Cubist movement and began creating austere works around 1910. However, this particular piece demonstrates his evolution towards more complex compositions and richer colors. In this still life painting, we are presented with a table covered in a vibrant green cloth. Resting on top are a coffee mill, a bottle, and a wine glass. The fragmented and flattened geometric shapes create an abstract representation of these objects, showcasing Gris' unique interpretation of reality. One striking element in the artwork is the simulated wood-grain pattern on the base of the coffee mill. This addition adds textural variety to an otherwise flat surface and may have been inspired by Picasso's collage constructions. Measuring at 74.61x57.59 centimeters when framed (55x38 centimeters unframed), "The Coffee Mill" can be found at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. It was acquired through purchase from the J. H Wade Fund. This remarkable piece exemplifies Gris' innovative approach to art-making during the early 20th century and remains an important contribution to both Cubism and still life painting as genres.
