The Book
Juan Gris (1887-1927) was one of the most famous Cubist painters. His Portrait of Picasso, painted in 1912, is considered one of the important early Cubist paintings that was not painted by Picasso. When he died at the age of 40 he left behind over 200 works, at least a dozen of which feature book imagery.

Neat collection. I've seen some of his works in person, but I never thought about (or knew, really) how many of them featured images of books.
