Google today celebrates 125th birth anniversary of Spanish painter and
sculpture Juan Gris, also known as the third musketeer of Cubism art
(Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque are the other two), with a
Cubism-themed doodle.
Gris a.k.a Jose Victoriano
Gonzalez-Perez was born in Madrid on 23rd March, 1987. In 1906, Gris
came to Paris where he became friends with contemporary artists such as
Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger. Later Gris came up with
his own cubist style of painting. His work generally featured cubical
and angular arrangements of subjects painted using a palette of muted
tones. The abstract art of Cubism developed by Gris is rated among the
most revolutionary forms of art in the last century. You can read more

Today's Google doodle
is based on the Cubism art form, featuring stylised representations of
musical instruments. Clicking on the doodle will lead you to a Google
search results page for “Juan Gris”.
