Nature Morte (Still Life), 1950

1950

About the Item

Published by Guy Spitzer in c. 1950, this color collotype is hand signed by Georges Braque (Argenteuil-sur-Seine, 1882- Paris, 1963) in pencil in the lower right and signed in the stone in brown in the lower left of the image. This work is numbered from the edition of 150 in pencil in the lower left margin. Utilizing fluid lines and earthy tones of browns, yellows, and greens, Braque replaces the cubist formality of his early compositions with an organic quality that would come to characterize the artist's later works. The composition is well-balanced, with a large teapot on the left and three, ripe fruits to the right. The teapot, though man-made, retains a natural element, for its shape resembles those of the plump fruit next to it. Braque (Argenteuil-sur-Seine, 1882- Paris, 1963) provides a distinct foreground and background, including the table upon which the fruit rests as part of the overall composition, and offers the viewer a raised vantage point, as though the viewer is gazing down upon the teapot and fruit. About the Framing: This work is framed to museum-grade, conservation standards, presented in a complimentary moulding and optical grade Plexiglas.
