1959
About the Item
Extremely detailed and brilliantly colored, Braque (Argenteuil-sur-Seine, 1882- Paris, 1963) creates this still life full of vigor and warmth. Adding a unique, organic quality to the composition by integrating varying shades and hues of earthly tones, this Still Life with Pipe remains one of Braques finer prints.
The nature of the pipe has had an extensive history dating back to 500 B.C.E. Having been part of several cultures throughout the world, the pipe has achieved a refined symbol of both the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Americas, more commonly used by men within a social setting. Here, Braque has situated the pipe amidst an array of scattered paperwork and seemingly organized clutter, over a background of muted browns, greys, and marigolds. Subtle tones and highlights of whites and sky blues centralize the viewer's focus to the center of the composition and also allow the light to cast shadows within itself, making way for depth and richness of color.
Created in 1959, this work is hand-signed by George Braque (Argenteuil-sur-Seine, 1882- Paris, 1963) in pencil in the lower right margin and signed in the plate in black in the lower right. Numbered from the edition of 100 in pencil in the lower left margin, this piece features a small inscription in the lower left of the plate, '© 1959 by ECG Paris.' .

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.
