Juan Gris' 125th birthday: Google does a cubist doodle for the Spanish painter


To commemorate the 125th birth anniversary of Spanish painter Juan Gris, the third Musketeer of Cubism (Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were the other two) Google has painted a cubist doodle on its home page.
José Victoriano González, better known as Juan Gris (his pseudonym), was an important exponent of the second phase of cubism known as High Cubism and his dominant style was Synthetic Cubism.
The abstract art of Cubism was the last century's most revolutionary art movement.
