About the Item

Printed with centerfold, as issued, the work captures Braque’s mature synthesis of nature, symbolism, and structure. The imagery of a bird’s nest sheltered among leaves reflects the artist’s recurring fascination with avian motifs—symbols of freedom and transcendence—paired with the protective intimacy of the natural world.

Notes on publication:
Under the direction of Aime Maeght, Derriere le Miroir (“Behind the Mirror”) became one of the 20th century’s most influential art publications. Each issue paired original lithographs with essays or poems, produced in collaboration with the artists exhibited at Galerie Maeght. The triple issue L’Hommage a Georges Braque (Nos. 144–145–146) was published in 1964, the year following Braque’s death, as a monumental tribute to his life and artistic legacy. Contributors included Picasso, Chagall, Miro, Giacometti, Chillida, and other contemporaries who honored Braque’s profound impact on modern art.
Braque’s Le nid dans le feuillage (The Nest in the Foliage) belongs to his late period, when natural forms—birds, leaves, nests—became poetic metaphors for the interplay between freedom and stillness. This image, delicate yet architecturally composed, embodies Braque’s belief that “art is made to disturb, science reassures.” The serene composition evokes his lifelong search for harmony within complexity, a synthesis of movement and repose.
About the artist:
Georges Braque (1882–1963) was a central figure in the evolution of modern art. A pioneer of Fauvism and co-founder of Cubism alongside Pablo Picasso, Braque transformed the visual language of 20th-century painting. While Picasso’s Cubism often carried an explosive energy, Braque’s approach was lyrical and introspective—seeking rhythm, balance, and unity between form and space.
After World War I, Braque’s art shifted toward still lifes, birds, and interior scenes that merged abstraction with tranquility. His Ateliers and Oiseaux series from the 1950s and early 1960s represent the culmination of his poetic vision.
In 2013, Braque’s Paysage a la Ciotat sold for $15.8 million USD at Sotheby’s, setting a world record for the artist. His influence continues to shape the dialogue of modernism—bridging structural rigor and lyrical grace.

Abstract and Fractured, Biomorphic and Geometric Forms
By Agnes Hart
Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
Signed lower left.
“Abstract and Fractured Biomorphic and Geometric Forms” which was painted in the mid to late 1950’s is a nod to Picasso’s famous painting Guernica, which Hart may have seen when it was given to the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1958. Several elements in the painting clearly reference Guernica: the black geometric and cut-out shapes, the biomorphic shapes, the abstracted horse’s head and body, with a district reference to the bull’s tail, along with the black and white pallet choice and various details throughout-all hallmarks of Picasso’s Guernica. The abstracted reality Hart presents in these references go beyond a simple nod and reflect a personal interpretation reflected in the splintered abstraction and her bespoke interpretation.
Agnes Hart’s first began her career as a social realist artist in the 1930’s. She was also WPA artist. Her longtime friend Milton Avery encouraged her, and she exhibited in the same gallery in the late 1940’s, the RoKo Gallery. Her instinctive and personalized modernist periods often reflected a similar path of her compatriot artists during the first half of the 20th century. Her early works were influenced by her teachers Josef Presser, Paul Burlin and Lucile Blanch, and Reginald Neal, and reflected historical modern trends-at times showing the influence of Avery and other modernist.
