Still Life with a Poem

Still Life with a Poem[1] is an oil painting by Spanish artist Juan Gris, completed in 1915.

The idea of space is rearranged in Still Life with a Poem, which is painted entirely of oils and imitates a collage on a wood grain table.

When Octavio Paz first described him like this, he talked about how often Reverdy would break the silence and disrupt empty spaces.

Reverdy had always wished to not be well known, but his distinctive pieces helped him create the cubist poet population that he gained.

His collaborative work with still-life paintings ended in 1927, due to the death of his peer, Gris.
