EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing "Checkerboard and playing cards" painted in 1915 by the talented artist Juan Gris. Housed within the esteemed National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, this masterpiece is a testament to Gris' artistic prowess and his ability to breathe life into still-life compositions. The image transports us to a time when games were cherished pastimes, as players gather around a checkerboard and engage in an intense card game. The scene exudes an air of camaraderie and friendly competition, with each participant fully engrossed in their strategic moves. Gris' unique style shines through in this piece, incorporating elements of cubism that add depth and complexity to the composition. The meticulous brushstrokes bring out every detail - from the intricately designed chess pieces on display to the vibrant colors adorning each playing card. As we observe this painting, we are reminded not only of the skillful craftsmanship but also of our own memories tied to these timeless games. It evokes nostalgia for simpler times when gathering with friends or family meant engaging in spirited matches that brought joy and excitement. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both Gris' artistic genius and our shared love for traditional games.
