José Gonzales was born in Spain in 1887. In 1906 he moves to Paris, where he calls himself Juan Gris. He thinks this name is more suitable for a career as a caricature artist, which is what he has in mind. In Paris he joins the group of artists that has formed around Picasso and becomes one of the fathers of Cubism. Gris engages in what he calls deductive painting. First he applies visual elements to the canvas such as line, form and colour. Then he determines which the figurative elements can be found in that pattern.Like the other Cubists, Juan Gris has an outspoken preference for musical motifs. The Cubists are especially fascinated by the shape of musical instruments. Gris
