About the Item

Georges Braque was born in Argenteuil-sur-Seine, France in 1882. From an early age, he attended evening classes at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Le Havre, where he met Othon Friez and Raoul Dufy. In 1904 he set up his studio in Paris and three years later showed three paintings at le Salon des Indépendants. Braque regularly traveled to l'Estaque, near Marseilles, to paint. Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, a leading French art dealer of the time, arranged for Braque to meet Picasso; the latter had just finished "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon", which made a strong impression on Braque. Braque then painted several pictures in the south of France, all of which were refused at the 1908 Salon d'Automne. The critics were unsparing about Braque, and Vauxcelles wrote in the "Gil Blas" review of the 14th of November 1908: "Mr. Braque is a daring young man; he despises form, and reduces everything, landscapes, people, and houses, to geometric diagrams, to cubes". The term was coined. Braque and Picasso 's friendship was strengthened, and until 1914 both artists worked in close collaboration, mutually influencing each other, and introducing into their pictures stenciled letters and numbers, imitations of wood and marble, sand and other substances and collages. But in 1914, Braque was called to serve in World War I and was seriously injured. After a long convalescence, he started painting again in 1917, in a less angular and more colourful manner. From 1933 to 1938 he frequently returned to the still-life theme, and in 1949 finished the "artist's studio" series, as well as designed the stage scenery for Molière 's "Tartuffe". In 1952, he was commissioned to decorate a ceiling in the Louvre; in 1956, he made five stained-glass windows for a chapel in Varengeville, where he owned a house. Braque then began his work on a theme centered on birds. Georges Braque's interest in prints dates from 1907. Between 1907 and 1912, he produced engravings in the cubist style, using etching and dry-point. He made his first lithograph in 1921, a still-life published by Kahnweiler. Throughout his life, Braque continued to make prints, mastering the techniques of etching, lithography, aquatint, and woodcut. His engraved work includes joint productions with major poets: Satie (Léger comme un oeuf, with one etching); Ponge (Cinq sapates, five aquatints); Paulhan (Braque le Patron, two lithographs); Apollinaire (si je mourais là-bas with 18 woodcuts); Jouhandeau (La descente aux enfers with 4 lithographs); Saint-John Perse (L'ordre des oiseaux, twelve etchings and colour aquatints). The most important of these productions is René Char 's "Lettera amorosa" for which Braque made twenty-nine color lithographs. The artist has also printed for collective books: "Un poème dans chaque livre" from Eluard, illustrated with 16 etchings by Miro, Giacometti, Chagall, Masson etc.; "Sentences sans paroles" with an engraving of Giacometti; "Paroles peintes" with prints of Chagall, Bissière and Zadkine. Braque died in 1963. In his obituary delivered at The Louvre in September of that year, Andre Malraux (French author, adventurer and statesman) stated: "There is a part of France's honour called Braque, because a country's honour is also made of what it gives to the world."
