About the Item
Created with a sensitive attention to color and value, this work is one of many floral motifs Braque depicted in his lifetime. Deeply saturated tones of ochre and brown express a subdued mood, while the hints of highlights convey to the viewer a sense of brightness and energy. A cluster of yellow daisies emerge from a simple ochre vase with large green leaves fanning either side of the container. The rich, deep browns of the background create a warm atmosphere in which the volume and details in the subject matter stand out. The texture within the flowers, leaves, and vase allude to the thick painterly quality of the original painting from which this work is based. A suggestion of lighting is seen in the accented areas of the vase and small center leaf, implying that the room in which the artist created this work may have been minutely illuminated.
Of the still life Braque stated, "the still life is a tactile, even manual space in contrast to the space of the landscape, which is a visual space." Further commenting upon the importance of the still life within Braque's career, it has been stated, "his still lifes are absolutely not intended to 'look real' - far from it. For a long time, they represented the crystallization of his thinking and his investigations into three-dimensional space and space-time" (Karadontis).
Published by Editions Maeght, this work is hand signed by Georges Braque (Argenteuil, Val-d'Oise, 1882 - Paris, 1963) in pencil in the lower right margin; also signed in the plate in white in the lower right. This piece is numbered from the edition of 300 in pencil in the lower left margin.

Georges Braque
Georges Braque was born in Argenteuil, France, in 1882. Braque lived much of his childhood and young adult life in Le Havre. He attended night classes at the art school from 1897–99 and then moved to Paris, where he obtained his license as a master decorator. From 1905–06, after studying at École 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. Paysage à L'Estaque (1906) was one of the prominent works of art made at this time.
The year 1907 was a significant time in Braque's development, wherein he visited the retrospective on Paul Cézanne 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, Braque began nurturing a considerable interest in primitive art. After the First World War, Braque worked autonomously and developed a more personal style, which was characterized by vivid colors and textured surfaces. Braque painted still life, interior views, and ocean scenes. The Ateliers (1948–55) and Birds (1955–63) series were painted during this period. In 1948, he obtained his first award for painting at the XXIV Biennial in Venice.
