“Guitarra y Clarinette” is a 1990 original poster, published by Silvio Zamorani Editore in Turin, after the iconic 1920 painting by Spanish Cubist master Juan Gris. This authorized edition pays homage to one of the most intellectually refined voices in the Cubist movement—an artist celebrated for his precision, harmony of form, and structural clarity.
The original composition, Guitarra y Clarinette (1920), is a textbook example of synthetic Cubism, where familiar still-life elements—a guitar, clarinet, glass of wine, sheet music, and newspaper—are deconstructed and elegantly reassembled into an abstract yet coherent visual language. Rendered in earthy ochres, slate blues, and deep blacks, the forms are geometric yet lyrical, maintaining a delicate balance between representation and abstraction.
Unlike the fragmented, more experimental Cubism of some of his contemporaries, Gris pursued a more architectural approach, constructing his compositions with mathematical precision and poetic restraint. His mastery of structure is on full display here, with overlapping planes and subtle color harmonies that guide the viewer’s eye across the tableau.
This poster reproduction was produced to high-quality standards under the direction of Silvio Zamorani, a well-known art publisher based in Turin, Italy, recognized for bringing museum-quality prints to a broader audience. It includes the facsimile signature and date from the original work (Juan Gris, 5-20) in the lower left, and presents the artist’s name simply and elegantly below the image: “JUAN GRIS.”
Both a celebration of Cubist innovation and a beautiful decorative object in its own right, this poster is a striking tribute to Juan Gris’s enduring influence on modern art—and to the craftsmanship of European art publishing.
