Joseacute; Victoriano Gonzaacute;lez-Peacute;rez (1887 ndash; 1927); better known as Juan Gris; was a Spanish painter and sculptor born in Madrid who lived and worked in France most of his life. Closely connected to the innovative artistic genre Cubism; his works are among the movements most distinctive. In 1906 he moved to Paris and became friends with Henri Matisse; Georges Braque and Fernand Leacute;ger. In Paris; Gris followed the lead of another friend and fellow countryman; Pablo Picasso. Gris began to paint seriously in 1910; developing at this time a personal Cubist style. At first Gris painted in the style of Analytical Cubism; a term he himself later coined; but after 1913 he began his conversion to Synthetic Cubism; of which he became a steadfast interpreter; with extensive use of papier colleacute; or; collage. Unlike Picasso and Braque; whose Cubist works were practically monochromatic; Gris painted with bright harmonious colors in daring; novel combinations in the manner of his friend Matisse.

I did some research. and this little book was very helpful. It showed many styles. floor-plans. and gave a bit of history. I still cant find definite proof of my house being a kit home. But there are many in my area and this book is like a small hand-book. Its a useful tool.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great intro to the subject.By M.
