José Victoriano Carmelo Carlos González-Pérez, commonly known as Juan Gris, was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1887. Gris initially studied mechanical drawing before studying painting in 1904 under the tutelage of academic painter José Maria Carbonero. In 1906, Gris relocated to Paris, which is where he predominantly lived and worked for the rest of his life.
