Still Life: the Table - (a visual deep dive by the NYT)

Still Life: The Table; Juan Gris, collaged paper, newsprint, charcoal and paint, 1914

Last weekend the New York Times online posted a wonderfully clever look at this early piece of cubist collage by its youngest practitioner, Juan Gris. Jason Fargo’s article (‘An Art Revolution, Made With Scissors and Glue’) marries short, concise text with a visual deep dive that uses cropping and zooming magnification to direct your attention of how (and why) it was created back in 1914. As you scroll, the programmed camera moves in and around to direct your focus to whatever element is being discussed.

A chewy art history bonbon.
