The cubist character · 1917 -1925
Between guitar, violin and workshop table, Juan Gris makes Harlequin a cubist figure who is at once constructed, melancholic and intensely theatrical.
José Victoriano Gonzalez-Pérez, known as Juan Gris, was born in Madrid in 1887 and died in Boulogne-sur-Seine in 1927. Installed in Paris in 1906, he developed a rigorous form of cubism where objects remained readable despite the fragmentation of plans. Harlequin appeared insistently in his work between 1917 and 1925, particularly after the difficult years of the First World War. Sitting in front of a table, holding a guitar or a violin, the diamond character brought together several themes dear to the painter: the musician, the mask, the spectacle and still life. Gray gives around forty interpretations, numerous enough to make Harlequin a real alter ego. The silhouette is constructed by flat areas, curves, diagonals and suggested wallpapers; yet the face retains human gravity. As his cubism softens, the geometric costume no longer only serves the decomposition of form: it reflects the ambivalence of a character who entertains while keeping his thoughts hidden. The "Harlequins de Juan Gris" selection notably compares Harlequin in front of a table - Juan Gris and Seated Harlequin - Juan Gris. His reading favors the story.
In Juan Gris, the diamond costume is already a cubist composition; behind its geometry, Harlequin nevertheless retains the silence of a portrait.
