'Juan Gris' was published to mark the major retrospective exhibition organised in 1992?1993 by the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart and the Rijksmuseum Kröller-Müller in Otterlo. Christopher Green presents an in-depth study of Juan Gris, one of the leading exponents of analytical and synthetic Cubism. Drawing on hundreds of high-quality reproductions, archival documents and art-historical essays, the book traces Gris?s development from his early illustrations and paintings to his mature Cubist compositions. The publication highlights his innovative contribution to modern painting and his close collaboration with Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and the Parisian avant-garde. Christopher Green is a British art historian and professor emeritus of art history at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. He is regarded as one of the leading international specialists in Cubism and French modern art. Christian Derouet is a French art historian and an expert on Juan Gris and the Parisian avant-garde. Karin von Maur was curator of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart for many years and has published authoritative studies on 20th-century European modern art.
