About the Item

Published by Editions XXe Siècle, Paris and the New York Graphic Society, Greenwich, Connecticut; Printed by L'Imprimerie Union, Paris, 1959. Excerpted from the volume (translated from French), From this book it was printed thirty copies on paper of Arches containing an original engraving by Georges Braque numbered from 1 to 300 copies constituting the original edition, including three hundred for Mr. Hazan, publisher in Paris; three hundred for A. Zwemmer, published in London; and, three hundred for the New York Graphic Society. Sixty copies of H.C. brands are reserved for the author and the publisher. GEORGES BRAQUE (1882-1963) was a major 20th-century French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor. His most notable contributions were in his alliance with Fauvism from 1905, and the role he played in the development of Cubism. Braque's work between 1908 and 1912 is closely associated with that of his colleague Pablo Picasso. Their respective Cubist works were indistinguishable for many years, yet the quiet nature of Braque was partially eclipsed by the fame and notoriety of Picasso.

  • Derain, Au Jardin d'Allah, Verve: Revue Artistique et Littéraire (after)
    By André Derain
    Located in Auburn Hills, MI
    Lithograph on vélin du Marais paper. Inscription: Signed in the plate, with additional lithography by the artist on verso. Good condition. Notes: From the volume, Verve: Revue Artistique et Littéraire, Vol. I, N° 4, 1939. Printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, 1939. ANDRE DERAIN (1880-1954) had a major role in the development of two of the most significant artistic movements of the early-20th century. He, Henri Matisse, and Maurice de Vlaminck were responsible for generating works with a totally new style which would become Fauvism and his association with Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque was integral to early Cubism. Nevertheless, his contribution as the generator of the ideas behind these movements is constantly debated, and some consider his work derivative. This is due in part to the fact that, continually in search of artistic meaning and attempting to create a timeless art removed from the specificity of the modern age, he experimented with different stylistic idioms. Whichever side of the Derain debate you end up on, we can all appreciate his use of expressive vibrant color, his simplification of form, and his fascination with primitive art were constants throughout his work and played a major role in the creation and propagation of early Modern Art.
