Georges BraqueLe Char III (The Chariot III), 19551955
1955
About the Item
This fascinating and lively piece instantly captures the viewer's attention. Considered an ancient symbol of power and glory, the chariot is delved with history that dates back to 2000 B.C. Braque tapped into this inherent symbolism and history as he created this exciting and eventful scene.
Featuring rearing horses in flight while pulling a chariot behind them, this work is full of movement and action. Composed of curvy lines, the satirical chariot driver lacks a face but appears caught up in the chaos and action, as their hair blows back into the wind. Braque utilizes a brilliant color contrast between the shades of brown, crème, and black and frames the story in a shadow box, as if we as the viewers are looking back in time.
Created in 1955, this color lithograph with hand varnish and embossing is hand signed by Georges Braque (Argenteuil-sur-Seine, 1882- Paris, 1963) in pencil in the lower right margin and numbered from the edition of 75 in pencil in the lower left.

- L'oranger (The Orange Tree), 1975By Marc ChagallLocated in Palo Alto, CAMarc Chagall L'oranger (The Orange Tree), 1975 delicately illustrates an outing between two young lovers as the idle in an orchard. Though their faces are muted, detailed in a lighter color grey so that their facial features aren’t so pronounced, the young man stares in profile, gazing down at his partner with admiration in his eye. His visible left hand gingerly touches her arm, a subtle gesture of intimacy. The woman in the image faces the viewer directly, soft features gazing ahead of her as she leans into her partner. Clutched in her hands is a wire basket filled with the surrounding flora, fauna, and fruit. A small, yellow goat...Category

- L'efant aux biscuit (Child with Cookie)By Pierre-Auguste RenoirLocated in Palo Alto, CAAn intimate portrait of his second son, Jean Renoir (1894 – 1979), evokes a childlike sentiment and love that Renoir had for his children. Most likely no more than age 3, Jean is shown here with a cookie, beneath a frilly bonnet characteristic of late 19th century French society. His pink, rosy cheeks are defined with rich, glowing hues that contrast from the pale yellow and grey background in which he rests. Jean was also featured in a family portrait of the Renoirs, titled La Famille de l’Artiste (1896). Created in 1899, this Color Lithograph on Cream Laid Paper is from the edition of 100, from the unpublishedL’Album d’estampes originales de la Galerie Vollard; printed by Auguste Clot, Paris.
