About the Item

This exceptional lithograph, Charrue (Plow) after Georges Braque (1882–1963), was published in Derriere le Miroir, Nos. 144–145–146, 1964, as part of L’Hommage a Georges Braque. Printed with centerfold, as issued, the composition evokes Braque’s deep connection to the natural and the elemental. The plow—an ancient emblem of creation, labor, and renewal—is rendered with Braque’s signature equilibrium between geometric structure and poetic intuition. In its balanced forms and muted tonality, Charrue speaks to the artist’s late meditations on nature and art as parallel acts of cultivation. Lithograph on velin paper. Paper Size: 15 × 22 inches (38.1 × 55.9 cm), with centerfold, as issued. Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered, as issued. Notes: From the folio, Derriere le Miroir, L’Hommage a Georges Braque, Nos. 144–145–146, 1964. Published by Aime Maeght, Editeur, Paris; printed by Les Ateliers de Maeght Editeur, Levallois, May 13, 1964. Excerpted from the folio (translated from French): Taken from this special issue of “Behind the Mirror,” CCCL examples on velin de Rives were numbered, constituting the original edition of L’Hommage a Georges Braque. These deluxe examples also included an etching based on Trois oiseaux sur fond violet. The lithographs for this issue were printed in the ateliers of Maeght Editeur, Levallois. The text was printed by Fequet et Baudier, typographers. Finished printing May 13, 1964. Artwork details: Artist: After Georges Braque (1882–1963) Title: Charrue (Plow) Medium: Lithograph on velin paper Dimensions: 15 × 22 inches (38.1 × 55.9 cm), with centerfold, as issued Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered, as issued Date: 1964 Publisher: Aime Maeght, Editeur, Paris Printer: Les Ateliers de Maeght Editeur, Levallois Condition: Well preserved condition, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From Derriere le Miroir, L’Hommage a Georges Braque, Nos. 144–145–146, 1964 Notes on publication: Derriere le Miroir (“Behind the Mirror”), published by Aime Maeght, was among the most distinguished art journals of the 20th century, combining original lithographs and critical texts to commemorate major exhibitions at Galerie Maeght. The 1964 triple issue L’Hommage a Georges Braque served as a collective tribute to Braque’s artistic legacy following his death in 1963. This monumental issue featured contributions from artists including Picasso, Miro, Chagall, Chillida, Giacometti, Tal-Coat, and Ubac—each offering works inspired by or dedicated to Braque’s vision. Charrue (Plow) stands as a symbol of Braque’s late poetic naturalism. Throughout his career, Braque’s imagery evolved from the fragmented geometries of Cubism to an introspective symbolism rooted in the earth and sky. The motif of the plow, resting or poised for use, conveys both creative labor and cyclical renewal—echoing the artist’s philosophy that “Art is made to disturb; science reassures.” The organic yet structured composition exemplifies Braque’s mature style, where stillness, symbolism, and form coexist in quiet equilibrium. About the artist: Georges Braque (1882–1963) was a pivotal figure in modern art, renowned for his pioneering role in the development of Cubism alongside Pablo Picasso. Initially aligned with the Fauves, Braque soon shifted toward analytical explorations of perspective and form, breaking with traditional representation to depict multiple viewpoints simultaneously. His approach, defined by restraint and sensitivity, gave Cubism a lyrical, contemplative dimension. In the decades following World War I, Braque’s art turned increasingly toward themes of nature, still life, and the artist’s studio. His later works—especially his Ateliers and Oiseaux series—reflect a philosophical calm and a profound unity between object and atmosphere. In 2013, Braque’s Paysage a la Ciotat achieved a world-record sale of $15.8 million USD at Sotheby’s, reaffirming his enduring legacy. Today, Braque’s work remains celebrated for its poetic intelligence and its seamless fusion of structure and spirit.
