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.
- 'Blackburian Warbler' - bird - black and white - AudubonLocated in Atlanta, GA"Blackburian Warbler" is a black and white artwork made from asphalt on cement and plaster mounted on wood panel. Atlanta-based artist, Tim Hunter’s work stems from his love of nature and concern for the environment. In 2003 he began working primarily with images of birds as an expression of his spiritual connection with nature. After reading an article about the declining bird populations in Georgia, he turned his focus to environmental issues. An avid bird watcher, Tim also experienced the heavily wooded area he grew up in, slowly reduced to shopping malls and subdivisions. He uses asphalt and cement to create his works which refer to the loss of habitat due to human expansion, which is one of the main causes of declining bird populations. His silhouettes are taken from Audubon’s series “Birds of America” which references a period in the past when the bird populations in America were more abundant. Tim received a BFA in printmaking from California College of Arts, Oakland, CA and an MFA in painting from Georgia State...Category

This work belongs to a limited edition of only 39 copies. Edited by Paragon Press, UK. ABOUT THE ARTIST Anish Kapoor is an influential British sculptor and contemporary artist of Indian origin. He was born on March 12, 1954 in Bombay, India, into a family of Indian and Iraqi descent. Throughout his career, Kapoor has made a significant mark on the contemporary art world with his innovative and provocative work, which explores themes of form, color, space and perception. Kapoor moved to London in the 1970s to study at the prestigious Hornsey College of Art and later at the Chelsea School of Art Design. His initial artistic training was influenced by minimalism and conceptual art, but he soon developed his unique and distinctive style. One of the most notable characteristics of Kapoor's work is his focus on sculpture. He often works with unusual and challenging materials, such as wax, stone, steel and plaster, to create sculptures that challenge traditional notions of form and space. His works often take on organic and geometric forms, and are characterized by their highly polished finish and use of color, especially red and black. In the 1980s, Kapoor became famous for his series of shell-shaped sculptures known as "Queen Sculptures...Category
