What defines the quality of this Juan Gris fine art print?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) archival museum-quality paper with a matte, uncoated finish. This ensures vibrant color depth and longevity without the glare associated with inferior glossy prints, providing a true-to-life representation of Gris’s 1915 masterpiece.
Is the frame included and what are its dimensions?
Yes, this print comes in a 20mm (0.79") thick black wooden frame made from responsibly sourced oak and ash. It is sturdier than standard 14mm frames, offering a premium, gallery-ready presence on your wall.
How is the artwork protected during shipping and on the wall?
Each framed print is protected by shatterproof, transparent plexiglass. This provides the clarity of glass while ensuring the piece remains lightweight and safe from breakage during transit and while hanging in your home.
Does this print meet museum-quality archival standards?
Absolutely. RedKalion utilizes acid-free, natural white paper and archival inks. This combination prevents yellowing and fading over time, ensuring your Juan Gris reproduction retains its sophisticated hues and sharp details for decades.
Is the paper used for this reproduction sustainable?
Yes, we prioritize environmental responsibility. We use FSC-certified paper or equivalent sustainable materials, ensuring that your fine art purchase supports responsible forest management and ethical production standards.
What is the significance of the year 1915 in Juan Gris’s career?
1915 was a pivotal year for Gris. During World War I, he refined "Synthetic Cubism," moving away from the fragmentation of Analytic Cubism toward a more structured, colorful, and harmonious arrangement of flat geometric planes.
What does "Synthetic Cubism" mean in the context of this piece?
Synthetic Cubism involves "synthesizing" objects from simple geometric shapes and textures rather than breaking them down. In this work, Gris uses overlapping planes and patterns to suggest a bottle and bowl with mathematical elegance.
