About the Item
In sharp contrast to his strict cubist style, this work offers a view of Braques (Argenteuil-sur-Seine, 1882- Paris, 1963) more mature whimsical aesthetic. In contrast to his classic cubist style, the imagery in this piece is clearly defined as a vase of flowers; however, the artist plays with form depicting only what is necessary. Thick painterly strokes delineate the figure of a white vase filled with beautiful, blooming yellow flowers. The vibrant yellow of the flower's petals contrasts nicely against the brown and beige background, causing the flower's to pop out at the viewer amidst the more neutral, earthy tones.
Created in 1960, this original color etching is hand-signed in pencil in the lower right margin by Georges Braque (Argenteuil-sur-Seine, 1882- Paris, 1963) and signed in the plate in black in the lower right. This work is numbered from the edition of 300 in pencil in the lower left margin.

Georges Braque
Georges Braque was born in Argenteuil, France, in 1882. Braque lived much of his childhood and young adult life in Le Havre. He attended night classes at the art school from 1897–99 and then moved to Paris, where he obtained his license as a master decorator. From 1905–06, after studying at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and having been influenced by the works of Henri Matisse, he began to paint in the way of Fauvism by using bright colors and taking advantage of the freedom of the composition. Paysage à L'Estaque (1906) was one of the prominent works of art made at this time.
The year 1907 was a significant time in Braque's development, wherein he visited the retrospective on Paul Cézanne and he came into contact with Picasso, who was very engrossed in the realization of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon at the time. At this point, Braque began nurturing a considerable interest in primitive art. After the First World War, Braque worked autonomously and developed a more personal style, which was characterized by vivid colors and textured surfaces. Braque painted still life, interior views, and ocean scenes. The Ateliers (1948–55) and Birds (1955–63) series were painted during this period. In 1948, he obtained his first award for painting at the XXIV Biennial in Venice.
