Juan Gris was the pseudonym of José Victoriano González Pérez, a Spanish artist (Madrid, Spain, 1887–Boulogne-sur-Seine, France, 1927) and one of the key figures of Cubism. After training in Madrid, he settled in Paris in 1906, where he came into contact with Picasso, Braque, and other avant-garde artists.

His work was primarily in painting, drawing, and collage, with recurring depictions of still lifes, portraits, and interiors. Starting from Cubist fragmentation, he created increasingly orderly and synthetic compositions, characterized by geometry, overlapping planes, and a precise use of color.

His work is part of collections such as the Museo Reina Sofía, MoMA, the Centre Pompidou, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the National Gallery of Art. Major exhibitions devoted to his work have been held at institutions such as the Museo Reina Sofía and the Centre Pompidou.
