What makes the paper quality suitable for fine art?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) archival-grade paper with a matte, uncoated finish. This museum-quality weight and natural white tone ensure your Juan Gris print retains its depth and color without the distraction of glare or yellowing over time.
Is the black wooden frame made from genuine wood?
Yes, our frames are crafted from responsibly sourced, FSC-certified oak and ash. The 20mm profile provides a deeper, more substantial aesthetic than standard frames, adding a sophisticated architectural element to your 70x100 cm print.
How is the artwork protected during shipping and display?
Each frame is fitted with shatterproof plexiglass, offering superior protection against breakage while maintaining visual clarity. Your print arrives in robust, secure packaging and includes a hanging kit, making it ready to hang immediately upon arrival.
Is this Juan Gris print a sustainable purchase?
Sustainability is core to RedKalion’s values. We use FSC-certified or equivalent materials for our paper and frames, ensuring that your acquisition of this Cubist masterpiece supports responsible forest management and ethical production practices.
Will the colors fade over time?
No. By utilizing archival paper and pH-neutral materials, we ensure the longevity of the print. The high-pigment ink and protective plexiglass work together to prevent fading, allowing the intricate details of 'Bowl, Glass, and Newspaper' to endure for generations.
What is the historical significance of 'Bowl, Glass, and Newspaper'?
This piece is a definitive example of Synthetic Cubism. Juan Gris utilized mathematical ratios to arrange objects, creating a structured harmony that differed from the more fluid styles of Picasso, making it a cornerstone of modern art history.
Why did Juan Gris frequently include newspapers in his still lifes?
Gris used the newspaper as a 'papier collé' element to bridge the gap between abstract geometry and everyday reality. It adds texture and a temporal context to the work, grounding the Cubist experimentation in the physical world.
