How did Juan Gris approach composition?
My approach to composition was deliberately systematic and analytical. I would begin by breaking down the subject matter into basic geometric shapes, considering their relationships in space. I paid close attention to the interplay of lines, planes, and volumes, ensuring a harmonious balance. Color was also a crucial compositional tool, used to define forms and create depth, rather than simply imitate natural hues. The goal was always structural coherence and logical arrangement.
