Born under the name of José González He was a Spanish painter who despite being a graduate of the University of Madrid, decided to devote his life to painting, starting from watercolor and comic illustrations in Paris, where he met those who would influence his career in synthetic cubism. In 1911 he began to experiment with Cubism with a range of colors that stand out from blues, greens, oranges, in beautiful, harmonious and fractional compositions.

Violin and guitar (1913)

The work titled violin and guitar describes two of the artist's favorite instruments, they are also two quite recurring elements in the works of his colleagues Picasso and Braque; This oil painting on canvas sees the union of the two instruments juxtaposed between them enclosed within squares and rectangles, the volume is almost indivisible except for the bottle seen in the left area, the rest, the paint is flat. The use of the blue color in the background gradient generates a great contrast to the other color ranges that accompany it, the lower stripes with squares in different tones could represent the pattern of a tablecloth, while the patterns painted on the orange grated on the upper area, is perceived as part of the design of a wall. The way to configure the work is attractive to the eye, since, although there are not so many elements that are in it, the way they are arranged and made gives the impression of seeing several drawings at the same time.

The breakfast (1915)

By 1915, the painter became more daring with the use of color within the compositions, as we can see in the work Breakfast, it divides the image as if it were pieces of paper on the canvas, giving the work volume with light and shadow that differentiate it from their colleagues, the title of the newspaper Le journal can be seen in the first instrance within an acidic green that embraces in an ascending line elements such as what looks like a table delimited with a white border, on it a jug or vase, the view stops in the intense blue that takes the look to the construction of a coffee maker in three parts, in blue outlined on a black background, a strip where the natural color of it is appreciated and the last one within the green. The orange with wood texture retains inside a plate and a glass that is perceived concave, above it a pattern is born in a geometric shape of violet color, likewise, the ability to generate rhythm through the points in the areas where black prevails gives harmony to the work of art.
