"I try to make concrete that which is abstract... Mine is an art of synthesis, of deduction... Cezanne turns a bottle into a cylinder, but I begin with a cylinder and create an individual of a special type: I make a bottle - a particular bottle - out of a cylinder... That is why I compose with abstraction (colors) and make my adjustements when these colors have assumed the form of objects." |
| Gris suppresses the physical transparency of glass in favor of a transparency of gridding. He weaves a system of oblique and perpendicular lines into some sort of corrugated shallow space. |
