Artwork Title: The Man at the Café

The Man at the Café, 1914

Juan Gris

Gris’s largest and most celebrated collage from 1914 features a man with a stein of beer, reading the newspaper Le Matin, the pages of which are held together by a stick with teardrop-shaped ends. Though we can see his fedora, his face is hidden by the ingeniously cut-and-pasted newspaper fragments containing part of an article titled “The Bertillon Method / One will no longer be able to make fake works of art.”
