About the Item

Untitled is an original lithograph realized by Georges Braque in 1959. Includes a passepartout: cm 39 x 35. Image dimension: cm 21 x 18. Print on color paper. The artwork is from the issue No. 115 of the periodical Derrière le miroir, published on the occasion of a major Braque exhibition at the Maeght gallery in 1959, where 19 paintings and 8 gouaches by the artist were shown. The complete artist's portfolio, which includes 9 colored lithographs in colors, was printed by Mourlot. The periodical Derrière le miroir was born in 1946 from an idea of Aimé and Marguerite Maeght, owners of the Maeght Gallery in Paris, in order to distribute original graphic works by "their" artists. The periodical Derrière le miroir served as both exhibition catalog for Maeght shows as well as a forum for the distribution of less expensive original graphic works. Published up to six times a year, Derrière le miroir offered original graphics by acclaimed contemporary artists. Georges Braque (Argenteuil, 1882 – Paris, 1963) Braque lived much of his childhood and young adult life in Le Havre. He attended night classes at the art school from 1897 to 1899, and then moved to Paris, where he obtained his license as master decorator. From 1905 to 1906, after studying at Ecole 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. Paysageal’Estaque (1906) was one of the prominent works of art made at this time. The year 1907 was a significant time in the formation of the artist, where he visited the retrospective on Paul Cezanne 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, the artist began nurturing a considerable interest for primitive art. By using geometric volumes and reducing the palette to color tones of green and brown, Braque tried to make and construct the existing space between the volumes of the composition without the aid of artifices such as prospective and chiaroscuro (light and shade). Between 1909 and 1914, the progresses in Braque and Picasso’s plastic art were favored by a profitable friendship. A new vision of painting space was born from this stimulating union. This new vision portrayed dismembered figures and facets created from the breaking into pieces of the various levels: it was the analytical cubism phase. After the First World War, Braque worked autonomously and developed a more personal style, which was characterized by vivid colors and textured surfaces. He painted still life, interior views, and ocean scenes. The Ateliers (1948-1955) and Birds (1955-1963) series were painted during this period. In 1948, he obtained his first award for painting at the XXIV Biennial in Venice.

Georges Braque - Original Lithograph
By Georges Braque
Located in Collonge Bellerive, Geneve, CH
Georges Braque - Original Lithograph 1963 Dimensions: 32 x 24 cm Andre Sauret, Monte Carlo The father of Cubism Three Cubist that distinguishes art historian periods were initiated and developed by Georges Braque: The Cubist Cézanne (1907-1909), Executive (1909-1912) and synthetic (1912-1922). Post-Impressionist and fawn, Braque no longer adheres to the contingency of a decorative way or the other. Cézanne’s paintings exhibited at the Grand Palais during the retrospective of 1907 are a revelation: Cézanne sought and invented a pictorial language. In his footsteps, Braque went to the South with the reasons of the Master. He returned with Estaque landscapes and surprising Ciotat it keeps Cezanne geometric model and retains the “passages” continuity from one surface to another to create the sensation of “turning around” of the object represented. But he wants to go after the consequences of the vision of Cezanne. In his paintings Houses in L’Estaque (1908) it simplifies the volumes of houses, neglects detail by removing doors and windows: the plastic rhythm that builds the table. Large Nude , a masterpiece of the period, can be considered the first work of Cézanne cubism . Systematizing and deepening Braque discoveries open the door analytical cubism. In 1909, his painting became more cerebral than sensual. The pattern is recreated in the two-dimensionality of the canvas, leaving aside any illusionistic perspective. In Still Life with Violin, objects are analyzed facets according to their characteristic elements, each facet referring to a particular view of the object. There are so many facets of points selected view: Table reflects the knowledge of the object and the ubiquity of the eye. Moreover, Braque is looking for the essence of the objects in the world rather than their contingency, which explains the absence of light source and use of muted colors (gray, ocher), contingent aspects of the object . But formal logic has stepped facets, erased any anecdote to the object and ultimately led to his painting a hermetic more marked on the edge of abstraction (see the series of Castle Roche-Guyon ). Braque, anxious to keep the concrete and refusing at all costs that the logic of Cubism takes the paintings to abstract, reintroduced signs of reality in his paintings in 1912 marks the beginning of Synthetic Cubism. Historians speak of “signs of real” rather than reality because what interests Braque, this is not to put reality into a table, but to create a painting which, by its language, refers to the real. To do this, he invented two major techniques XX th century inclusions and contributions. The inclusions consist of painting objects that have no real depth, materials (wallpaper in Nature morte aux playing cards faux wood is a pictorial inclusion) or letters (calligraphic inclusion in Portuguese ), made first brush and a few months later stencil. Contributions are defined in contrast with the collage on canvas of foreign materials: glued or sand paper, sawdust, etc.. Regarding the collages, Braque used for the first time in September 1912 a piece of adhesive paper imitating faux wood Compote and Glass , then the packet envelope of tobacco Bock in 1912-1913, or an advertisement in Damier , 1913). Inputs and inclusions refer to an external object in the table, without “emulate” this object. Away from their appearances, objects are represented in closest essence of the objects in the real world sense. This is also the time of Synthetic Cubism that Braque invented paper sculpture. There are, unfortunately, and no one is living proof of a photograph makes it possible to realize: Paper and paperboard. Métamorphoses period(1961-1963). In 1961, Georges Braque worked on a Greek head for the Louvre, which obsesses him, and he wishes to free his mind. He tried several times to bring out the paint and the result was unsatisfactory. He thinks the ultimate metamorphosis its Greek head projected in three dimensions. He calls in his studio of Baron Heger Loewenfeld, master lapidary, and he communicates his enthusiasm during the “fateful encounter.” Nine months later, in honor of the eighty years of Georges Braque, Heger Loewenfeld offers the Master of the ring Circe: the famous Greek head finally exorcised, carved in an onyx. Braque Loewenfeld then asked to identify other issues that haunt him. From dated and signed by Georges Braque, Heger gouaches Loewenfeld shapes works in the fields of jewelery, lapidary art...
