Early in the 20th century, a new development known as cubism took the art world by storm and changed the visual arts forever.
In the standard art historical narrative, cubism was pioneered in Paris by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, with less credit going to Juan Gris, a younger member of the group. Gris’ pivotal contributions are the subject of the new exhibition “Cubism in Color: The Still Lifes of Juan Gris” at the Dallas Museum of Art.
