This picture is by Juan Gris and is rendered in pencil on paper. I decided on this one because of the none traditional way he composed such a traditional piece. Using the fruit as the center of your still life is very common, but the use of shading and the way the edges are jagged is very interesting. To take such a common kind of picture and change it so the audience wants to look and dissect it, that is what makes a great work of art.

I like the how simple this piece looks. There isn't a great deal of detail and the subjects in the piece seem to blend into eachother at some points. I think it brings the whole piece together, however I'm not entirely sure where the light source is and it kind of confuses me when I look at it.
