Portrait d’Henriette Reverdy (vers 1918) - Février 2010

De Juan Gris, mort prématurément à l’âge de 40 ans, Christian Zervos écrivait :
“Juan Gris est toujours à la recherche d’un langage nouveau pour en faire un vêtement de la pensée”.

Les deux portraits de Madame Henriette Reverdy, que nous avons l’honneur de vous présenter dans cette nouvelle mise à jour, témoignent de l’amitié et la collaboration qui liaient Juan Gris au poète Pierre Reverdy. En 1915, Juan Gris illustre son ouvrage “Poèmes en prose”, puis en 1916 “Au soleil du plafond” (finalement édité en 1955 par Tériade), tandis qu’en mars 1917, l’auteur publie dans sa revue “Nord-Sud” le manifeste “Sur le cubisme”.

Dès 1916, Juan Gris s’adonne régulièrement au portrait (Douglas Cooper en compte moins de 10 avant cette date). Logé dans un atelier au Bateau-Lavoir, il côtoie notamment Modigliani qui fait poser ses voisins et réalise son portrait en 1915 (toile aujourd’hui
