Sheet size: 45 x 48 cm Plate size: 23,5 x 29,2 cm Literature: Vallier 46 Georges Braque (Argenteuil 1882–1963 Paris) is one of the great and important artists of the twentieth century and left behind an impressive oeuvre. In addition to his paintings, a number of outstanding prints are among the highlights of his work. From the very beginning, he devoted his attention and passion to his graphic oeuvre and explored the artistic possibilities of printmaking techniques. Based on the formal repertoire of Analytical Cubism, Braque’s first prints were produced as early as 1909. More than twenty years later, fascinated by Greek mythology, Braque produced black-and-white etchings for Hesiod’s Theogony (1932), as well as numerous colour lithographs revolving around the ancient world of gods with horses and chariots – a theme to which Braque repeatedly devoted himself.
